90 degrees west longitude in the US runs from Minnesota south to Louisiana. There are 25 states with capitals west of the 90 degrees west longitude line, including Alaska and Hawaii and all 22 contiguous states entirely west of the Mississippi River.

While the state capitals of Wisconsin (Madison) and Illinois (Springfield) are *just east* of the 90° line, the capital of Mississippi (Jackson) is *barely west* of the line. It is one of the two major southern cities that straddle the line, the other being New Orleans, LA, which is not a state capital.
