Which state is the geographical center of North America?

Note that the geographic midpoint, the center of distance, and the average latitude and longitude can all be different Statistics has stated that the geographic midpoint of North America is "6 miles west of Balta, Pierce County, North Dakota" which is again about roughly 48°10′N 100°10′W/ 48.167, -100.167, in the order of 15 miles (25 km) from Rugby, North Dakota Using a google search for the northernmost land point of Canada gets Alert, Nunavut at Latitude 82.483, Longitude -62.25 Using a google search for the southernmost point of Mexico gets Tapachula, Mexico, Latitude 14.9 Longitude -92.283333 The geographic midpoint calculator at geomidpoint. Com gives a result of 48.0874549 Latitude and -88.8127852 Longitude which is just on the Michigan side of the Michigan Ontario border, just North of Isle Royal National Park in Lake Michigan At 48.1 Latitude, a degree longitude difference is 46.28 miles The difference of 11.3542148 degrees is about 531.377 miles, pretty good for the roug calculations and the uncertainty as to how the estimate was arrived at The average of the two sets of coordinates gives Latitude: 49°05′51″N 49.0974549 Longitude: 88°48′46″W -88.8127852 which is north of Thunder Bay Ontario, Canada A different answer might be derived by examining the rectangle created by the northernmost, southernmost, easternmost, and westernmost locations of the entire North American continent (Canada, U.S. , and Mexico) I forgot that Greenland and Costa Rica are included in North America North America Northernmost Point - Kaffeklubben Island, Greenland (83°40'N) Southernmost Point - Cocos Island, Costa Rica (5°30'N) Westernmost Point - Amatignak Island, Alaska, United States (179 06' 31" W) ¹ Easternmost Point - Nordost Rundingen, Greenland (12°08'W) ² Calculating the midpoint of the rectangle now gives us Latitude: 83°26′07″N 83.435321.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
