As I was cleaning up my GitHub repos and migrating what I can to Codeberg, I ran across this long forgotten gem - a colleciton of U.S. state information - flags, photos, seals, twitter and facebook accounts, all kinds of things.
Sadly it was abandoned 8 years ago, but much of the content is still relevant. I keep hoping it will get picked up again by someone - hint hint.

huh. TIL: there is a “four corners” place in Canada, like there is more famously in the USA, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.
But ours is automatically cooler, figuratively and literally*, because it is a: at 60° Latitude, and b: involves two Territories and two Provinces.
It is where the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba meet.
It is also a LOT harder to get to. Though arguably, as it is amongst the thousands of lakes in the area, during the summer, a float plane would get you there.
Also, technically. It is not a perfect “joining” on the map which is just bad planning on Canada’s part, but at least it is hiking distance. Or that might be just a projection issue. They seem to converge at 60N 102W. I guess I could consult an official boundary document or something :)

Edit: Google Maps has a photo! Added here… of the four cornered boundary monument!
*seasons and ongoing #agw not withstanding

A picture from Google Maps showing a silver metal obelisk style monument with the names of the provinces. In the background there appears to be a fire watch tower made from irregular local wood poles
How much more zoomed in look shows the considerable lakes in the area immediately adjacent to the four corners. The lines don’t perfectly match up, but I suspect that has more to do with the projection and the physical location as intended.
Reasonably zoomed out map view of a point on the map at 60° north and 102° west. It shows the location of the four corners in North Central Canada.
