East-West is determined by the International Dateline? I thought that only concerned the date.
I thought East-West was determined by the 180° line of longitude? Which is string straight, and runs between Semisopochnoi Island, and Amatignak Island, which are Alaska.

At 179°46' East (in the Eastern Hemisphere), the easternmost tip of Semisopochnoi is, by longitude, the easternmost land location in the United States and North America. Semisopochnoi sits only 14 minutes west of the 180th meridian, the International Date Line.

Amatignak Island is a member of the Delarof Islands (western Andreanof Islands), in Alaska's Aleutian archipelago. The southernmost point of Alaska is on this island, as well as the highest western longitude of Alaska, the United States, and North America
