There isn't any "line closest to Pueblo".

This is probably the most widespread misconception we see in this category of WikiAnswers ...

the impression that there is an official set of "lines", that those are the only ones that we're

allowed to use, and we have to settle for one out of the official set that's somewhere close.

You wouldn't ask "What's the length closest to the beginning of the ruler ?" The answer

would be: "You can darn well measure any length you want to, even if the ruler doesn't

happen to have a line printed there."

Some maps and globes have some lines printed on them, and some don't have any.

On the maps and globes that have lines, the lines may be printed every 15 degrees,

or every 10 degrees, or every degree.

Whatever lines they decide to print on the map or the globe, that doesn't mean that

those are the only latitudes you're allowed to use, or the only ones that exist.

When you measure accurately, you can tell the latitude difference between two points

that may be only 1 inch apart. That's something like 0.00000023 of a degree of latitude, or

0.00082 of 1 'second' of latitude.

But even that isn't the smallest bit of latitude you're allowed to use. If you want to use slices

of latitude that describe locations that are only 1 millimeter apart, or 0.01 inch apart, you go

right ahead.

The number of latitude closest to Pueblo that you can use is whatever number you want

to use, no matter how close to Pueblo it is.

And no matter how close to Pueblo your number is, I can always come along and

name a latitude that's even closer to Pueblo than yours is.

There is no such thing as "closest to Pueblo". It's like asking "What distance is closest

to the end of the ruler ?"

If you're asking about Pueblo, Colorado, then the middle of the intersection of

Jackson and Quincy, near St. Mary Hospital, is located at

38.2567° north latitude

104.6274° west longitude.

If you step out of the middle of the intersection, or go to another part of town, then

those numbers change.

What line of longitude is closest to memphis?

It would be somewhat easier to answer this question if I knew whether you're referring to the Memphis in Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Tennessee, Texas, or one of the many of them outside the US. There haven't been any permanent residents of the ancient city of Memphis, Egypt, for over 1,400 years now. But its location is well known, much remains of its impressive temples and monuments, and the center of archaeological activity to uncover its history is located about 12 miles south of Cairo, at 29.8493° north latitude 31.2550° east longitude. There's no such thing as "the closest line". Longitude is not some official set of standard lines, from which we're supposed to pick one that's somewhere close to the location we're working with. A 'line' can be drawn at ANY longitude. You wouldn't ask somebody "What mark on the ruler is closest to your height ?" You would ask him "How tall are you ?" Similarly, you don't need to be satisfied with "What line of longitude that the publisher decided to print on this map is closest to the place I'm interested in ?" You have every right to ask "What is the longitude of that place ?" whether or not the publisher has decided to print a line there.
