Geog., Fig. 238.) Its western boundary line, high above sea level, winds along the crest of the Appalachian Mountains; its eastern boundary is the seacoast. (Fig. 2.) On the north it joins Virginia and on the south, South Carolina and Georgia. It lies between thirty-three degrees fifty minutes and thirty-six degrees thirty-three minutes north latitude, and between seventy-five degrees twenty-seven minutes and eighty-four degrees twenty minutes west longitude. If we should travel northward from Raleigh, the capital (Comp. Geog., Fig. 192), we would pass near Niagara Falls. Southward, we would pass through the central part of Cuba, and touch near the Panama Canal. (Comp. Geog., Fig. 161.) Going eastward, we would cross the Atlantic and touch the northern shore of Africa not far from Gibraltar. Continuing on the same parallel, we would pass through the island of Crete, the northern part of Palestine, southern Chosen (Korea), and Japan. Following the same line across the Pacific, we would pass through southern California, northern Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Tennessee. (Comp. Geog., Fig. 192.)
