Farthest North- Alaska. Farthest East-This is not easy to answer. On a map of the USA, Maine would seem to be the farthest east.

Bitish Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick all share a border with the United States -- as does the Yukon Territory (with Alaska). All would be equally close. The furthest province would be Newfoundland and Labrador.
