It is a technicality depending on how you measure Eastern-most.

The end of the Aleutian Island Chain crosses the 180° longitude and is therefor in the area many call "The Far East".

Trick question, not the eastern most measured from the geographic center, as would be Maine.

It is the same "logic" that refers to America as "The West" when we are on a globe.

OK another quiz - (without looking at a map!)
Other than Alaska, what state includes territory that is furthest north?
