'Most' is a rubber word. It means different things to different people at different times.

ALL of the contiguous 48 states falls between 24.52° and 48.48° North latitude.

The contiguous US is between latitude lines 25 degrees and 50 degrees.

To put a somewhat finer point on it:

-- A 'line' can be drawn at any latitude. There are an infinite number of possibilities,

and there's no official set of 'lines' that everybody has to use.

-- ALL of the contiguous US (the "lower 48") lies between ANY line of latitude

that's north of 49.384°N and any other line that's south of 24.521°N.

Forget about "lines". You can draw lines at any latitude.

All it takes is a map and a pencil.

The 48 contiguous USA occupy the range of north latitudes

between roughly 24.54° - 49.38° north.

Alaska and Hawaii are both completely outside that range.
