==Geography== [[File:FourCornersTXMap.gif|thumb|left|Map of Four Corners]] Four Corners is located near the northeastern border of Fort Bend County at {{coord|29|40|10|N|95|39|33|W|type:city}} (29.669366, -95.659147).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> It is bordered to the north by the [[Mission Bend, Texas|Mission Bend]] CDP and to the east, south, and west by small units of the city of Houston. According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|6.6|km2|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|0.01|sqkm|order=flip|3}}, or 0.12%, is water.<ref name="Census 2010"/> The original community was centered on the four-way intersection of Boss Gaston, Old Richmond, and Richmond Gaines roads. The [[census-designated place]] as of 2011 includes the crossroads and several new houses west of [[Texas State Highway 6]], north of McKaskle Road, and south of Riverside Grove Drive and Stanbridge Drive. Journalist Jeannie Kever said that the community, once "isolated", had become "something bigger and harder to define, its aging small frame houses and mobile homes engulfed by the omnivorous spoils of growth."<ref name="KeverCrossroads"/> Carmen Martinez, the president of the Fort Bend Freshwater Supply District No. 2 and a Four Corners resident who lived there since 1966, said in a ''[[Houston Chronicle]]'' article that at one time residents had to go to Houston or [[Rosenberg, Texas|Rosenberg]] to get groceries. As of 2011 residents can go to local area stores to shop.<ref name="KeverCrossroads"/>
