8 Mile Corner

From Oklahoma

8 Mile Corner is a monument in the Cimarron National Grassland dedicated to the tri-point (a place where three states meet) of Kansas, Colorado, and Oklahoma. The landmark is a windmill with the three states names on the blades. The monument was built in 1903. Several years ago satellite pictures showed the actual meeting place to be several feet away from the monument. A brass plate in the ground marks this.
