If you're going to get picky....

The westernmost point in a US State is Amatignak Island, Alaska (179° 8′ 55″ WEST longitude). The easternmost point in a US State is Pochnoi Point, Alaska (179° 46' 23" EAST longitude).

With the convention that West is always west of East, then the US comprises 359° 54' of longitude (with interruptions  for oceans and non-US land). Divided into thirds ("West, Center, East") - the western third reaches from Amatignak Island eastward to 60°W (in the Atlantic Ocean) Which puts ALL of the US in the western third (except for a few other Aleut islands).

The center third extends from long. 60° W to long. 60°E (the Ural Mountains, and centered on the Greenwich Meridian and London), and the eastern third stretches from the Urals to Alaska.

Nevertheless, California, Oregon, and Washington are on the so-called West Coast of the US, and Alabama (almost) and Maine are on the so-called East Coast of the US.

"When in the US, do as the Americans do."

Hello Andy,

If I had noticed the word "coast" in the Posts above I might have responded differently. Sorry that I missed it. Where about exactly was that word "coast" that I missed?

 All I did was answer the question the way that I read it: JD said the photo was from somewhere on the "OTHER side of the country".

Best Regards,

Michael
