Latitude is essentially the angular distance of a place north or south of the Earth's equatorial plane. So, by definition, the circle of latitude known as the 30th parallel north lies 30 degrees north of the equator, in the planet's Northern Hemisphere. It also traverses the southern region of the contiguous United States of America. Curiously, only four US states extend south of the 30th parallel north. These consist of the islands of Hawaii; the southern half of Texas, including Big Bend National Park and South Padre Island; the southern edge of Louisiana, including the city of New Orleans; and much of Florida, from St. Augustine, one of the country's oldest continuously occupied settlements, to Miami and the incomparable Florida Keys.
