Four Corners (Canada)

With the creation of Nunavut on April 1, 1999, Canada gained its only "four corners". It is located at the intersection of the boundaries of Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, at 60°00' north, 102°00' west, on the southern shore of Kasba Lake. It is located in remote northern wilderness, hundreds of kilometers from any road, railway, or airport.  The point is marked by a meter high aluminum obelisk erected in 1962, which predates the creation of Nunavut. The obelisk was erected in 1962 to mark the boundaries of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, the District of Mackenzie and the District of Keewatin.
