US States South To North In Order

Directions

Name the US states in order from south to north based on their southernmost point on land. PLEASE NOTE – this quiz was created using a highly detailed boundary file from the census – although latitude lines (like the 49th parallel) are generally the ‘boundary’, they aren’t exact, therefore all states with southern borders on a latitude line won’t all be equal, as their southernmost point isn’t exactly on that line.

You begin with 1 minute (or 30 seconds for non-Premium members) but get 10 seconds per state answered.
