Map of U.S. States North of Canada -- I think these are the 27 U.S. states at least partly north of the southernmost part of Canada.
I think the southernmost point of Canada is on a now-uninhabited island called Middle Island, which is part of Pelee Township, Ontario, which should not be confused with the nearby Middle Bass Island, which is part of Ohio. Although always a part of Canada, Middle Island was until 2000 owned by an Ohio car dealer who bought it as a pleasure island for his family. After his death his heirs sold it by outcry auction. A non-profit agency called The Canadian Nature Conservancy, which had publicly raised funds for the purpose, bought it for roughly U$867,000 and then deeded it to Canada. The southernmost point of Middle Island, Ontario, Canada, is located, I think, at 41 degrees north, 41 minutes, 17 seconds.
Twenty-seven of the fifty U.S. states have land north of Canada's southernmost point - Middle Island, Ontario.
Middle Island, Ontario, is the southernmost point of land in Canada, located at 41°41'N, 82°41'W, or about 41.7 degrees north latitude. It lies in Lake Erie, just south of Pelee Island, and is part of Point Pelee National Park.
