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.
