This marker is quite easy to reach unless it has rained recently as the dirt/gravel roads can get quite messy. The directions follow:
1. I-80 Exit #107 for NE 25B toward Big Springs.
2. Continue onto Rd 209 for 456 ft, heading South.
3. Turn left at Rd 8 and go 1.1 miles, heading East.
4. Turn right at Rd 211/W Q S/Rd West Q S and go 3.1 miles, heading South.
5. Arrive at the intersection of 36.3 & 63.2 and the intersection of Rd 2 and Rd 211.
This will make more sense when you arrive, since you'll be at the intersection of 4 counties from 2 states.

Historical significance:
Plaques from each of the four counties were placed in their respective positions around the granite post on a 14-foot square concrete slab on September 24, 1976. Sometime afterward, a wrought-iron fence was erected around the slab, replacing the original chain-link fence. The monument is co-owned by the states of Colorado and Nebraska.
