Extreme Points of the US States

Extreme points of U.S. states - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_points_of_U.S._states


What I found interesting is the southernmost point of Alaska is near the 51st parallel at Amatingak in the Aleutians.


I also found interesting that the state of Hawaii has a long chain of islands extending north and west of Kauai ending with the northern and western most of the Hawaiian Islands being Kure Island located at a latitude of 28 degrees and a longitude of 178 degrees.


Therefore, the northernmost point of Hawaii is at the latitude of Tampa, FL! The westernmost point of Hawaii is more than halfway to Japan!







Extreme points of U.S. states - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_points_of_U.S._states Extreme points are portions of a region which are further north, south, east, or west than any other. This is a list of extreme points in U.S. states.

This little known portion of Hawaii is part of Honolulu County. This is rather interesting since the island of Kauai (Kauai County) is most proximate to the northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The northwestern Hawaiian Islands are atolls stretching from east to west include Nihoa, Necker Island, Frigate Island, Gardner Pinnacles (not an atoll), French Shoals, Marco Reef, Laysan Island, Lisianski Island, Pearl and Hermes Atoll, Eastern Sand Island and Kure Island. Midway Island which is east of Kure Island is not part of Hawaii and is designated a US territory.


Now whose going to be the first to do the highpoints of the northwestern Hawaiian Islands!
