I think someone needs a new map. According to Microsoft, Rangley is pretty damn close to the 45th latitude, but not Main St. Probably a little poetic license by the restaurateur.

The Manchester airport is at least four miles south of the 43th parallel.

If nipple rock is FL46, it's at 43 36.828 north and 71 22.645 , according to Bizer. No part of the lake at 44.444 north, the northern most tip is at around 43 44.1
