Where is 42 degrees 40 minutes latitude 70 degrees 37 minutes longitude?

Answer 1

"Latitude 42 degrees" defines two circles on the earth, both parallel to the equator. One circle is 42 degrees south of the equator. It passes through Chile, Argentina, the South Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, Tasmania near Hobart, New Zealand near Wellington, and the South Pacific Ocean. The other circle is 42 degrees north of the equator ... a much more interesting swath of the globe. This circle either defines or passes through each of the following: Dividing line between Oregon and California, Oregon and Nevada, Idaho and Nevada, Idaho and Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Lake Michigan, Michigan, Ontario, Lake Erie, Pennsylvania, dividing line between New York and Pennsylvania, New York, Dividing line between Massachusetts and Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the North Atlantic Ocean, Portugal, Spain, the Mediterranean Sea, Corsica, Italy near Rome, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, European Turkey, the Black Sea, Asian Turkey, Georgia, Russian Federation, the Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakstan near Borat's hometown, Kyrgyzstan, China, Mongolia, North Korea, Japan, and the North Pacific Ocean. (Now you can see why we also need longitude to locate a specific place ... latitude alone doesn't really narrow it down.)

Answer 2

That point is on the pavement of Milebrook Rd, right at the crook in the road that's

about midway between South St and Aldrich Rd, in West Bridgewater, Mass.

It's about 1.44 miles northwest of the intersection of Main St and Broad St in Bridgewater,

1.78 miles due east of Hwy-24, 5.7 miles south of the center of Brockton, 14.4 miles south

of the center of Braintree, and 25 miles south of downtown Boston.

Answer 3

That point is located just offshore of Rockport, Massachusetts.

It's about 1,250-ft due east of the end of Wharf Rd., 2,450-ft northwest of the Breakwater Light,

and maybe 3,000-ft north of the front door of Ellen's Harborside restaurant at the foot of T Pier.

Answer 4

According to a certain map site, that location is off the coast of Massachusetts, despite Thornton Wilder writing it as inside New Hampshire in that play I expect you got the location from, "Our Town."

Answer 5

You must incude the N or S for latitude, and the E or W for longitude, to define one spot.

42N 123W is in the mountains on the border between Oregon and California.

42N 123E is near the village of Ban Jiatuncun, China.

42S 123E is in the Indian ocean, 500 miles south of Australia.

42S 123W is in the South Pacific Ocean, about 2300 miles from Peru. It looks like it's almost a tie as to the nearest point of land; Pitcairn Island (where the HMS Bounty mutineers hid) is 1200 miles NW, while Easter Island is about 1200 miles NE.

Answer 6

It's about 210 feet east-southeast of the intersection of Bidwell Rd and Marshall Rd

in Branch County, about 1.4 miles due west of I-69, and 4.1 miles north of the

intersection of Marshall St and Chicago St in Coldwater, Michigan.
