There are only a few US states in which EVERY border is defined by a line of latitude or
longitude; normally the state borders represent some physical feature such as a river or
mountain range. Look for perfectly straight lines; those are defined by latitude or
longitude. Curvy borders are normally rivers.
Some of the straight borders are famous; for example, in the 1760's, two famous
surveyors named Mason and Dixon surveyed the border between Pennsylvania and
Maryland. Most people have heard of the "Mason-Dixon Line", but don't know where it is.
The term "Dixie" as meaning the southeastern United States may have come, at least in
part, by the north/south division of the American colonies by the Mason-Dixon line.
There's probably not a single state, with the possible exception of Hawaii, that doesn't
use latitude and longitude to define some portion of its border, since any formal land
survey will return its results in terms of the geographic coordinates of the significant
points along the boundary of the property.
