Maine is typically thought of as the most northern state in the Contiguous US. However, the most northern state of the Contiguous US is truly Minnesota. Minnesota's northernmost point stands at 49˚ 20' N compared to Maine's 47˚ 27' N.

Nope, Minnesota has an area called the Northwest Angle which is the only area in the contiguous US that is north of the 49th Parallel. Main is farther south, although it looks farther north on maps that do not have the latitude lines marked.
