1. Tri-State Corner of Wyoming, Utah and Colorado Marker
This point was monumented by U.S. Surveyor Rollin J. Reeves, on July 19, 1879 while completing the survey of the west boundary of the State of Colorado and the east boundary of Utah Territory. The boundary line separating Wyoming Territory from Colorado and Utah Territories was surveyed by U.S. Surveyor A.V. Richards in 1873. The original monument was found to be disturbed in 1931 and was remarked by U.S. Cadastral Engineer E.V. Kimmel with a brass tablet seated in a concrete monument. This monument is one of the corners of the national rectangular cadastral survey system, inaugurated in 1785, that has aided the development and orderly settlement of the public lands of the Western States from these monuments, state and local governments and private citizens are provided with easily identifiable boundaries. Such monuments serve as a base for the work of private surveyors in making accurate land subdivisions and descriptions.
Erected 1999 by Kiwanis Club, Boy Scout Troop 166 of Craig Colorado, and Bureau of Land Management.
