The tri-point is marked with a four sided granite shaft project 3 feet above the ground with Colorado on two sides, New Mexico on southwest side and Oklahoma southeast side. The stone previously had a survey disk on top which has now been replaced with a nail.

This monument is located in a remote area but is accessible via asphalt roads except for the last half mile which is a good gravel road. To access this survey from Boise City, Oklahoma take Hwy 325 toward Kenton. Take the road heading north just prior to reaching Kenton, it will have signs for Black Mesa, the highest point in Oklahoma. Drive past the parking area for Black Mesa, at this point the road will become a more winding and hilly. You will also cross several cattle guards, beware of cattle in the road way. Immediately after the road changes to gravel will be a gravel road heading west along the Oklahoma - Colorado line. The road will have a loop road in vicinity of the tri-point stone.
