I'm surprised you didn't talk about what may be our most famous boundary markers: the Washington DC Boundary Stones, which are the original survey markers erected in the early 1790s as part of the land surveys to mark out the new federal capitol's land. They are some of the earliest artifacts that we have that show the words "United States" on them. NPR did a story on them last year: https://www.npr.org/2024/07/04/nx-s1-4940122/boundary-stones-washington-monuments

Delighted to find out there’s a wiki page about tri-points https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tripoints_of_U.S._states
