23. No One Will Dispute Those Borders
Hawaii stands out among the 50 states of the United States for its unique geographic distinction: it is the only state whose borders are entirely defined by natural features. Unlike the other states, which often incorporate straight lines or man-made boundaries, Hawaii’s borders are shaped entirely by the coastlines and geological formations of its islands.
This exceptional characteristic arises from Hawaii’s status as an archipelago, consisting of a chain of islands formed by volcanic activity. As a result, the boundaries of Hawaii reflect the diverse and dynamic nature of its landscape, with each island contributing to the state’s distinctive shape.
