In 1918, the US Coast and Geodetic Survey attempted to find the center of what was then the United States’ (lower) 48 states. Because they lacked the computing power to process the complex geometry of an irregular, 3D landmass, they placed a carefully scaled map of the 48 conterminous states onto a uniform piece of cardboard. After cutting it out, they determined the geographic center by finding the exact point at which the map balanced perfectly on a pin.
