What is the northernmost southeastern state geographically? (work, boundaries)

[muppethammer26]

I have created a page for the southernmost northeastern state earlier. Maryland won as a southernmost northeastern state. But there is also a dispute where is the northernmost southeastern state. Some use the VA/NC border, some use the Potomac River, others use the Mason-Dixon Line. The definition for both the Northeast and the Southeast can change over time.

Which state do you think is the northernmost southeastern state? Only one choice per person.

Maryland.

I guess technically WV as part of the panhandle is as far north as NYC

Practically to me it is MD

[Tezcatlipoca]

I voted for MD because I forgot about WV's panhandle.

I was going to complain that Delaware isn't on the list, until I remembered West Virginia's northern panhandle.

North Carolina. If dividing into quadrants, how can the Northeast be so small with the Southeast so massive? We're talking from a geographical perspective here.

Everyone knows Delaware is not a southeastern state.

It doesn't work by dividing into quadrants, though. State, geographic, and cultural boundaries comprise the diving lines.

West Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland are a mixture of northern and southern while Virginia is the first fully Southern state.
