Alaska is the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost state in the U.S. It is easternmost because the Aluetian Islands extend past the 180 degree line of longtitude, putting them in the Eastern hemisphere.

But the International Date Line extends beyond the Aleutians. Hence, Maine is still easternmost.
