Nunavut easternmost point

Is there a possibility that Ellesmere Island may be further east than Cape Dyer (on Baffin Island)? I have no evidence that it is or is not. It is simply a question that arises after looking at maps of the area. Backspace (talk) 23:25, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I came for the same reason, but wanted to back the hunch up so I checked Google Maps. Google Maps gives a longitude of 61.17°W for the easternmost point of Ellesmere Island, compared with 61.26°W for Cape Dyer. But, Google is not particularly precise on where exactly the east coast of Ellesmere Island actually is, and based on this script the difference is only 1.281 kilometres (0.796 mi) at 82.3°N. So it's not definitive. I have put a citation needed tag on this point. Kahastok talk 22:38, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

boundary wobbles

The boundary west of Lake of the Woods is defined not by the 49° line but by the markers placed by a joint survey, which wobble along that line. From the International Boundary Commission website, I infer that the southernmost point of mainland BC is Monument 51, 48°59′50.84″N 121°44′58.03″W / 48.9974556°N 121.7494528°W / 48.9974556; -121.7494528; that of Alberta (and of these markers) is Monument 347, 48°59′48.04″N 111°34′29.50″W / 48.9966778°N 111.5748611°W / 48.9966778; -111.5748611; that of Saskatchewan is Monument 633, 48°59′55.62″N 102°27′21.98″W / 48.9987833°N 102.4561056°W / 48.9987833; -102.4561056; that of Manitoba is Monument 912, 48°59′55.96″N 95°17′06.10″W / 48.9988778°N 95.2850278°W / 48.9988778; -95.2850278. —Tamfang (talk) 21:49, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Westernmost Point in Quebec

This pont: 51.55, -79.55 seems further West than the Westernmost point listed... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.124.25.105 (talk) 18:30, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The point listed is slightly further west, but it's definitely close. TurkeyCookTime (talk) 05:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
