North Carolina–Tennessee–Virginia Corners, Geographic tripoint in Iron Mountains between Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, US.
Located at an elevation of 4,628 feet, this mountain intersection marks the physical boundary where three southeastern states connect at precise coordinates.
The tripoint emerged from colonial-era surveys in 1779, leading to boundary disputes that required Supreme Court intervention to establish accurate state lines.
Multiple hiking paths near the tripoint connect visitors to regional features like the Virginia Creeper Trail and segments of the Appalachian Trail.
Access requires navigation through local roads from Abingdon, Virginia, with the final approach involving a 1.5-mile hike or four-wheel drive vehicle.
The location's elevation provides views of Mount Rogers in Virginia and Mount Mitchell in North Carolina, connecting three distinct state territories.
Part of: North Carolina–Tennessee border, North Carolina–Virginia border, Tennessee–Virginia border
