I ask myself, if there is just one or if there really were two states with four rectangle corners. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.147.164.118 ( talk) 04:39, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
Should this article not be merged with Four Corners Monument. Both articles are about the same thing and there both quite small
Allard Monday 24 April 2006
(resetting indent)Thanks for the feedback. At one time this article was Four Corners (United States). I'm not sure who switched the articles or why. If you want to do it, I'm ok with that. I would ask you wait a few days, I just submitted my re-write for a WP:DYK nomination. Can I have my 15 minutes of fame =-) In the interim please add whatever you feel I missed?

The coordinates given here don't match the ones on Four Corners Monument Mike Schiraldi 22:02, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
The coordinates under WGS84 are reported by the National Geodetic Survey (see also the separate article U.S. National Geodetic Survey). They are given at this URL: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_mark.prl?PidBox=AD9256. See also [1] and [2]. The correct coordinates as of 2003 are 36 59 56.31532(N), 109 02 42.62019(W). If you see different coordinates elsewhere, it's either taken from a map that is inaccurate, or it refers to a geodetic system other than WGS84. -- Mathew5000 23:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Some mention of the fact that it is not at exactly 37N, 109W, as dictated by Congress? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.201.66.193 ( talk) 23:01, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
Can we get a better map, one that shows the jurisdictional boundaries of all six governments at the Four Corners? 141.155.129.168 ( talk) 03:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Per the news stories out today (and now cited in article) the four corners monument is 2.5 miles from the actual intersection of the four states in question. That means the four states intersect near, not at the monument. What this means for the terminology of the region is unclear - is the four corners region defined by the monument or the actual intersection? Also, I put a fact tag on the claim that the Indian reservation boundaries lie on the monument. If the monument is in the wrong place, they probably do not. However, we can't make assumptions one way or another because Indian nation boundaries are not necessarily defined by the same markers that state boundaries are. Any attempt to reason this through is likely to be WP:OR. We should probably find some direct sourcing on this. Wikidemon ( talk) 22:20, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
This article has always suffered from people confusing the monument with the region. Though a few attempts have been made to clarify, people still think this is the monument article. Exhibit A was the edits made today resulting from the AP article about the misplaced monument (which should have zero affect on the article about the region).
How about putting different pictures on this article? The current ones are of the monument. How about putting instead photos of, say, Monument Valley or from the Navajo Nation article instead? Dave ( talk) 02:44, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
I think that's a good idea. Also might make sense to add a link to the clarifier at the top, something like, "For the monument..." or "for the geographic locale, see... " (Ken L.) -- 72.72.40.35 ( talk) 01:34, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I'd like an image with the states numbers according to their order of establishment. And/or an image with the states given their two-letter state abbreviations. -- user:MartinHarper — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.211.143.4 ( talk) 21:34, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

I added Durango's airport (DRO) to FMN as it receives significantly more commercial traffic. I also added Cortez (CEZ) as I know some folks travel commercially through it. There may be other equally small airports... It might be more realistic to mention only DRO. May also be worth mentioning the closest international airports, which I believe would be ABQ, PHX, SLC, and DEN, probably in that order. Josh Powell ( talk) 20:57, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
