the Aleutian Islands in Alaska cross the 180* longitude line; thus, the western most point is also the eastern most point. :)

[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Extreme_points_of_the_United_State s&action=edit&section=7)] Interpretation of "easternmost" and "westernmost"

There are at least three methods for determining the location of the eastern and western extremes of the United States.
By cartographical convention, the Prime Meridian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Meridian) running through Greenwich, England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich%2C_England) is the least eastern and least western place in the world. It is defined as 0 degrees longitude. The 180th meridian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/180th_meridian), on the opposite side of the globe represents the absolute limit of how far east or west one can travel, from a cartographical perspective. Anything exactly on the 180th meridian is neither east nor west; but take a single step to either side and one is at 179+ degrees east or 179+ degrees west, the highest achievable numbers. By this mode of reckoning, the most eastern and western spots in the US are both in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska.
If one takes the view that the easternmost place is where the day first begins, and the westernmost is where the day last ends, then the International Date Line is the defining limit for what is most eastern or western. In a new year, the earliest US sunrise takes place on Wake Island. Less than an hour earlier, the sun also rose over Attu Island, Alaska but for the day before.
On the other hand, if one defines what is most eastern and most western by which direction one must travel to reach a given point over the shortest distance, then Point Udall, Virgin Islands, and Udall Point, Guam, are the easternmost and westernmost points, respectively. While the world is round, and any point can be reached by traveling either east or west, it is always more direct to head east to reach Point Udall, VI, when traveling from any other spot in the U.S. Likewise, there is not a single point in the United States from which heading east is a shorter route to Udall Point, Guam, than heading west would be, even accounting for circumpolar routes. This holds true because all U.S. territory is spread across less than 180 degrees of longitude.
