Where do 5 or more U.S. counties meet in a single point?
The other day I was looking at a county map near my home in NE Georgia. I noticed that there is a point where 4 counties meet - Hall, Jackson, Gwinnett, and Barrow (see screenshot).
This made me wonder if there are any locations in the U.S. where 5 or more counties meet at a single geographic point? If so, where?
Best Answer
There are five counties in Florida that meet in the middle of Lake Okeechobee.
I haven't been able to find more, but the Wikipedia article implies that there may be more.
