The geographic center of North America is in Rugby, ND. I don't know the geographic center of the lower forty eight at the moment.
And the follow up question is: How long would it take to fly twelve million miles in the lower forty eight United States?
In geography, the term "lower forty-eight" refers to the contiguous United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. This term is commonly used to differentiate the main body of the United States from its two non-contiguous states.
it is the lower "48" states in the USA, Alaska and Hawaii make up the 50 states
By area, Texas is the largest of the "lower 48" states.
Depends on which crime you are talking about
The contiguous U.S.is made from the lower forty-eght states plus the District of Columbia. The continental U.S. contains the contiguous U.S. plus Alaska.Since the District of Columbia is not a state, when you speak of the lower forty-eight, you are not including D.C.Remember it this way. Alaska is part of the North America continent, hence it is part of the continental U.S. Generally, you don't say contiguous 48, just contiguous U.S.See Sources and related links for more information.
Contiguous United States includes the lower forty-eight states and Washington, D.C. The tallest mountain in the contiguous United States is Mt. Whitney with an elevation of 14,505 ft.
I just saw a forty mule team! Meet me at the lower forty, son; and bring your own plow. Give me forty good reasons!

Each of the "lower 48" states is connected to at least one other state.Alaska, while also on the North American continent, is separated from the others by British Columbia (Canada). Hawaii is separated from the US mainland by the Pacific Ocean.
