Geography

Four Corners is located at 28°20′1″N 81°38′33″W / 28.33361°N 81.64250°W / 28.33361; -81.64250 (28.333701, -81.642451).[3]

The United States Census Bureau area is based on census tracts. The complete area of Four Corners is larger and can be described as north along US 27 to Lake Louisa State Park (4 miles north of US 192), south along US 27 to Heart of Florida Hospital (3 miles south of I-4), west to SR 33, and east to Walt Disney World and Celebration. Four Corners has a total area of 180 square miles (470 km2). Four Corners is the only community in Florida to be located in four counties.

Although the Four Corners area is termed a quadripoint, an analysis of the official borders shows that what is called a quadripoint is actually two sets of tripoints. Lake County, Orange County and Osceola County share a border near the westbound lane of the Space Coast Parkway. Lake County, Polk County and Osceola County share a border just south of the eastbound lane of the Space Coast Parkway. Polk County, Florida and Orange County, Florida do not actually border each other but are located approximately 60 feet apart.[5]
