The 90th meridian west forms a [[great circle]] with the [[90th meridian east]], located midway between the Prime meridian and the [[180th meridian]]; thus, the center of the [[Western Hemisphere]] is on this meridian.
The 90th meridian west forms a [[great circle]] with the [[90th meridian east]], located midway between the Prime meridian and the [[180th meridian]]; thus, the center of the [[Western Hemisphere]] is on this meridian.

In the United States, the [[Mississippi River]] runs close to the 90th meridian, crossing the meridian several times. The cities of [[St. Louis]], [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]] and [[New Orleans]] are all close to the meridian.

One of the four [[45×90 points|45 x 90 points]] is located in [[Rietbrock, Wisconsin]], where the [[45th parallel north]] intersects with the 90th meridian west, marking the halfway point between the [[North Pole|90° Latitude North]], [[180th meridian|180th Meridian East & West]], [[Equator|0° latitude]], and [[Prime Meridian|0° longitude]].
