- Official Description: NGS Datasheet
This is one big benchmark disk! It’s also one of the best-known, because probably hundreds of people per week visit the Four Corners just to stand on this spot. In 1992, the original Four Corners monument (FOUR CORNERS=GLO STA 1) was destroyed and it was replaced with this large (8-inch diameter) disk. An elaborate stone platform surrounds the disk. The land is owned by the Navajo Nation, and there’s typically a variety of stands set up around the monument platform where the Navajo people sell arts & crafts and food items (I wholeheartedly recommend the fry bread with honey!).
