Four Corners

The Four Corners monument marks the exact intersection where Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut territories meet at 60°N latitude and 102°W longitude.

Survey crews installed Monument 157, an aluminum obelisk, during the winter of 1961-1962 to mark the intersection of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Northwest Territories boundaries.

The establishment of this quadripoint in 1999 reflects Canada's territorial evolution and commitment to Indigenous self-governance through the creation of Nunavut.

Access requires extensive planning, typically involving flights to Points North Landing Airport followed by additional transportation through remote wilderness terrain.

The location represents the only section of Nunavut territory covered in taiga forest rather than Arctic tundra or ice cap.
