US Map with Latitude and Longitude: Free Printable

The figures are from the U.S. Geological Survey's extreme points and geographic centers tables.

• Lower 48 states: 24°32′N at Key West, Florida to 49°23′N at the Northwest Angle, Minnesota; 66°57′W at West Quoddy Head, Maine to 124°44′W at Cape Alava, Washington.
• All 50 states: north to 71°23′N at Point Barrow, Alaska, south to 18°55′N at Ka Lae, Hawaii. The Aleutian Islands cross the 180th meridian, so Cape Wrangell on Attu Island is at 172°27′E.
• Geographic center of the lower 48: 39°50′N, 98°35′W, near Lebanon, Kansas. Of all 50 states: 44°58′N, 103°38′W, in Butte County, South Dakota, north of Belle Fourche. The USGS adds that no agency has fixed an official center; the markers at both places were put up locally.
• Washington, DC: 38°54′N, 77°01′W (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 Gazetteer).

The lines that run across the sheet are parallels of latitude, counted north from the equator. They bend because the map is a cone unrolled, the Lambert conformal conic projection the printed Landmass USA map uses. The lines that run up the sheet are meridians of longitude, counted west from Greenwich, and they lean toward the pole as you move away from 96°W, the middle of the map. A degree of latitude is about 69 miles anywhere. A degree of longitude is about 69 miles at the equator and about 53 miles across the middle of the country at 40°N, which is why the cells are wider than they are tall.

Three lines to point to in class. The 49th parallel is the border with Canada from Lake of the Woods to the Pacific. The 45th parallel, halfway from the equator to the North Pole, crosses Oregon, Montana, Minnesota and Michigan and is the border between Vermont and Quebec. The 100th meridian is the east edge of both the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles.
