5. Pointing in Two Different Directions
Situated in Guam and St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, respectively, these points highlight a fascinating aspect of U.S. territory. This naming coincidence honors the Udall family, prominent in American politics.
While the Point Udall in Guam marks the westernmost reach of U.S. soil in the Pacific, its counterpart in St. Croix claims the title of the easternmost point in U.S. territory in the Caribbean. This curious fact not only showcases the vast span of U.S. territories across the globe but also symbolizes the unity between distant parts of the nation, linked by a shared name and national heritage.
