Question

Between what lines of latitude and longitude lay the 48 contiguous states of the United States?

Answer 1

Here are the extreme points of the 48 contiguous states.

Northernmost point
Northwest Angle, Minnesota (49°23'4.1" N)

Southernmost point
Ballast Key, Florida ( 24°31′15″ N)

Easternmost point
Sail Rock, just offshore of West Quoddy Head, Maine
(66°57' W)

Westernmost point
Bodelteh Islands offshore from Cape Alava, Washington
(124°46' W)

These points provide the lines of latitude and longitude which will contain the 48 contiguous states.

Answer 4

+48.987386 is the northern most latitude
+18.005611 is the southern most latitude
-124.626080 is the west most longitude
-62.361014 is a east most longitude

Some slight buffer in the numbers but should be close enough to define a good box containing the 48 contiguous states.
