And longitude 80 degrees 34 minutes and 84 degrees 49 minutes W. The maximum length of the state east and west being two hundred and ten miles, and the maximum breadth from south to north one hundred and fifteen. The center of the originally surveyed square on which the capital buildings were erected is latitude 37 degrees 57 minutes, longitude 82 degrees 29 minutes, almost equidistant from the cities of Cleveland northeast, Toledo northwest, Cincinnati southwest and Marietta southeast, at and average maximum distance from the capital of one hundred and fifteen miles.
