The southern most point is in Hawaii. The northern most point is probably in the northern edge of Alaska, and the easternmost point I would guess in in Maine. I'm guessing the westernmost point is probably Attu Island in the Aleutian Island Chain off of Alaska

If you're talking only the mainland, here are the four "corners" of the United States:
E - Lubec, Maine
W - Cape Flattery, Washington
N - Northwest Angle, Minnesota
S - Key West, Florida
If you include all 50 states:
E - Same as above
W - Adak Station, Alaska
N - Barrow, Alaska
S - Naalehu, Hawaii
I hope this helps!

I once heard that Cape Hatteras, NC was the easternmost point. Not sure about the others. Not even sure if the Cape Hatteras thing is correct.
