Alaska is actually the easternmost state in the US. Alaska is the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost state in the US. It is easternmost because the Aleutian Islands extend past the 180 degree line of longitude, putting them in the Eastern hemisphere, which makes it the easternmost state in the United States.

Is Maine the easternmost state?

Technically, no. Since the Aleutian Island chain of ALASKA crosses the International Date Line, some of its islands are by definition "east" of any other point in the US. However, Maine is the easternmost of the "mainland" or "lower 48" US states.
