While technically speaking, Alaska is both the Westernmost and Easternmost US State (The Aleutian Chain of islands extends beyond 180 degrees longitude into the eastern hemisphere), The official International dateline was redrawn in order to keep the entire United States in the same legal day. The far reaches of the Aleutian Chain share the Hawaiian Time Zone making it -5 hours difference from Maine.

What is the eastern most point of the united states?
Alaska. Being the Northernmost state should be no surprise. Being the Westernmost state shouldn't be too hard : a map will show that the state extends all the way to the International Date Line, farther West than Hawaii. However, the most surprising part is that (by one definition), it is also the Easternmost state. The Aleutian Islands, which are part of Alaska, cross the 180 degree meridian. Therefore, they are the farthest East as well. (see link)
