Near the boundary, a 2D electron gas can phase separate into fractional quantum Hall fluid regions of successively lower filling factors (nu), in the case of a slowly increasing boundary potential. We present experimental evidence in the nu = 1/3, 1/2 and 1 quantum Hall regimes on a four-lead Hall junction showing that by side gating the junction boundary, the Hall resistance can be made to approach the quantized value of the lower nu fluids in the top-gated leads, rather than the higher-nu fluid at the junction center. This implies the presence of the lower-nu fluids near the junction boundary.
