Anyone ever try to make a list of the most remote place in each of the 50
states (and DC)?
The main rule is that it has to be on land, and can't be on water. Any
island off the coast that has few or no residents is a good candidate.
For instance, there's a little-known group of islands 65 miles west of Key
West that is probably the most remote spot in Florida.
There's an island 30 miles west of San Francisco (which is legally part of
the city of San Francisco) that would have to be one of the most remote
places in California.
For Louisiana, I was originally thinking it would be the mouth of the
Mississippi River, but there is an island about 25 miles east of the
mainland of St. Bernard Parish that is probably more remote.
For some states like Illinois, Ohio, or Indiana it's gonna be very hard to
find any good remote areas.
For Kentucky, I'd say probably somewhere in southern Martin County (since
Kentucky doesn't have any sea islands).
Also, what would be the most remote incorporated place (or CDP) in each
state? If Supai, Arizona, is a CDP, then it would be a good candidate.
