U.S. Tri-State Corners

Arranged generally from west to east and numbered the same as in Jack Parsell's Tri-State Corners guide. There are two tri-points associated with the District of Columbia and to distinguish these I have labelled them 32N and 32S for the northern and southern points.

Key to Column Headings

States = The standard two character postal abbreviation for the three states. Counties = The counties listed in the same order as the states. Tri-Point Name = The name of the benchmark at the tri-point. If no BM name can be found then a PXXXX ft. is assigned from the elevation at the tri-point. If PXXXX m is shown then the topo map is metric. EL,ft = Elevation in feet. EL,m = Elevation in meters. EL = How the elevation is shown on the map. A BM entry indicates a brass survey monument or benchmark is at tri-point. Topo Map (7.5 min.) = The topo map the tri-point is on. Maps with an asterisk after the name are 7.5 X 15 min.

Note: The northern VA, DC, MD point is missing because I could not find the map. I hope to add this data soon.
