Description: The 45x90 Geographical Marker, also known as the Center of the Earth Marker, is a point in northern Wisconsin in the United States that is said to be the exact halfway point between the North Pole and the Equator, as well as between the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line. The marker is located in the town of Poniatowski, near the intersection of County Road E and County Road J. It consists of a small sign or plaque indicating its significance as the "Geographic Center of the Northern Half of the Western Hemisphere." While the 45x90 Geographical Marker is a point of interest for geographical enthusiasts and tourists, it's important to note that the designation as the exact center of the Northern Hemisphere is arbitrary and based on a simplified representation of the Earth's shape. The Earth is not a perfect sphere, and there are many ways to define and calculate the center of the planet. Nevertheless, the 45x90 Geographical Marker has become a popular spot for visitors who want to experience standing at this specific geographic location. Some visitors may take photos or simply enjoy the novelty of being at a point that is symbolically significant.
