The borders of Colorado are entirely defined by lines of latitude and longitude giving it a rectangular look. The official state boundaries stretch from
"the thirty-seventh parallel of north latitude where the twenty-fifth meridian of longitude west from Washington crosses the same; thence north...to the forty-first parallel of north latitude; thence...west to the thirty-second meridian of longitude west from Washington; thence south...to the thirty-seventh parallel of north latitude...to the place of beginning" [visit link]. This corresponds to 37°N to 41°N latitude and 102°03'W to 109°03'W longitude.
A monument is located at the northeastern corner of the state where it cuts out the panhandle of Nebraska. This monument includes a stone benchmark and several historical plaques. Located around the mark are arrows depicting the true and magnetic North, the elevation (see WMH8NV), and latitude/longitude of the state border.
