the 45th Parallel

Stewartstown, New Hampshire

Old Mission Light

Dale Sanderson (the Map Guy) sends this photo of New Hampshire Historical Marker #64 on the side of US Highway 3 just north of Stewartstown, which is located at the point where Vermont, New Hampshire and Quebec meet. The Connecticut River forms the border between Vermont and New Hampshire, while the 45th Parallel forms the border between the United States and Canada across the top of Vermont. A few miles east of here on Highway 145 there is another historical marker marking the parallel at Clarksville.

45th Parallel

As you stand at this point
on the 45th parallel
you are half way
between the Equator
and the North Pole.
