  • US Extreme Points: Northernmost, Southernmost & Easternmost States
    Here's a breakdown of the states holding the extreme points of the contiguous US:

    * Northernmost Point: Alaska (Technically, the northernmost point of the US is on a small island in the Arctic Ocean belonging to Alaska, but the mainland northernmost point is also in Alaska.)

    * Southernmost Point: Hawaii (The southernmost point of the US is on the island of Hawaii, specifically at South Point.)

    * Easternmost Point: Maine (The easternmost point of the contiguous US is on West Quoddy Head in Maine.)

    * Westernmost Point: Alaska (The westernmost point of the US is on the Aleutian Islands, which are part of Alaska.)

    Important Notes:

    * Territories: If you include US territories, the northernmost point would be on a small island in the Arctic Ocean belonging to Alaska. The southernmost point would be on the island of Navassa, a US territory in the Caribbean Sea.

    * Islands: While Hawaii is the southernmost state, the southernmost point of the United States, including territories, lies on Navassa Island.
