All of the contiguous US falls between 24.52° and 49.38° North Latitude.
There is no official standard set of 'lines'. Some maps and globes show more lines,
some have fewer of them, and some have none at all. You can draw a line at any
latitude on your map or globe.

∙ 9y agoThe line of 49N is the boundary between the US and Canada from Minnesota to the Pacific. The border between the US and Mexico is quite jagged, but the word "most" allows me to set the approximate southern latitude somewhere between 31N (the Arizona/New Mexico southern border) and 26N (the southern tip of Texas at Brownsville). Call it 29N.
So, "most" of the "Lower 48" is between 29N and 49N.

Your map or globe may or may not have lines printed at those latitudes.

What does it mean if a state is outside contiguous or not part of the contiguous US?
The word contiguous means touching or connected. The contiguous US refers to the largest connected piece of American land. This happens to be the land situated between Mexico and Canada, which is also referred to as the Lower 48 because it contains forty-eight states. Therefore, the 48 states that are joined together are considered the contiguous United States, leaving Hawaii and Alaska as stand-alone states.The contiguous US is sometimes mistaken with the continental US. The continental US refers to the area of the US that is located on the continent of North America. This is just the contiguous US in addition to Alaska. Yet, Hawaii is not a part of the continental US either.It means it does not physically touch other states. Hawaii has an ocean between itself and other states. Alaska has another country- Canada- between it and another state.
