Scenic view of Tri-State "Monument"

The Tri-State Monument, sometimes called “Texhomex”, is a tiny marker where New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas meet on the plains near Clayton. It is not really a tourist attraction like Four Corners, just a quiet survey point in the grass. The site is also tied to a border quirks: because of old surveying errors, the northwest corner of Texas is actually a couple miles away from where it “should” be, seen here:
