OK, I think it's a matter of definitions. When you say "most southern", does that mean the northern border of the state is the furthest south?? Regardless, Hawaii has to be right. Carol Hill

I think that may also be the answer for the most western (Aleutian Islands). The most southern could be Hawaii and the most eastern Maine. Last edited by Fran; 12/26/2020 12:27 PM.

The westernmost state could be also the easternmost. [color:"red"]FRAN[/color] "Yes I am a pirate, 200 years too late"
