What feature is most often used to define a state border when longitude and latitude are not used be specific in the US?
AddiSwaggp2181
they are defined by rivers, ridges, Coastlines or lines not parallel to lines of latitude and longitude. Examples of states like this are: Washington D.C. (almost diamond shape), New Jersey and Hawaii (undefined territorial waters)

∙ 10y agoProbably a river. And the need for a feature to define the line "on a map" is
of very minor importance. The map only shows what was worked out, defined,
and agreed to by the people around there. The need for a feature to clearly
define the limits of the land was almost always driven mainly by the families
who wanted the opportunity to farm the rich land adjacent to the river.

How many states do not use any latitude or longitude lines to determine the border?
Every point on Earth has longitude and latitude.
What is 0 degrees and 70 degrees west latitude and longitude?
The Colombia/Brazil border
Are latitude and longitude real lines that cross the Earth?
No, no more than border lines between states or naions.
How many states use neither longitude or latitude to define borders?
States with only straight borders could probably be defined just by longitude and latitude. Those states are: Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico - so 4 states. Colorado and Wyoming would be easiest since they are both essentially rectangles projected onto the sphere of the Earth. Utah is a little more complicated since Wyoming bites into one corner of the state. New Mexico would require the most latitude/longitude information since its Southern border is kind of jagged. All the other states have at least one border determined by a coastline or river or mountain range or some other feature that is most definitely NOT straight, thus cannot be accurately captured just by longitude and latitude.
