You must do a bit of research about another Midwest state to solve for

N44 AB.CDE W89 FG.HJJ

North Dakota is a state located in the Midwestern region of the United States of America; on the Canadian border halfway between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. North Dakota is the FGth largest state by area in the US; it is the 3rd least populous, with 672,591 residents as of 2010. North Dakota was carved out of the northern half of the Dakota Territory and admitted to the Union on November 2, 1889.

It sits essentially, in the middle of North America, and in fact, a stone marker in Rugby, North Dakota, identifies it as being the "Geographic Center of the North American Continent". With 70,762 square miles.

The western half of the state consists of the hilly Great Plains, and the northern part of the Badlands to the west of the Missouri River. The state's high point, White Butte at D506 feet, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park are located in the Badlands. The region is abundant in fossil fuels including crude oil and lignite coal. The Missouri River forms Lake Sakakawea, the third largest man-made lake in the United States, behind the Garrison Dam.


North Dakota endures some of the most extreme temperature variations on the planet, characteristic of its continental climate, with cold winters and hot summers: the record low temperature is -60 °F (-51.1 °C) and the record high temperature is 121 °F (49 °C).

Meteorological events include rain, snow, hail, blizzards, polar fronts, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and high-velocity straight-line winds.

The United States Census Bureau estimates North Dakota's population was 760,077 on July 1, 2018, a 13.01% increase since the 2010 United States Census. This makes North Dakota the U.S. state with the largest percentage in population growth since 2011. The Jth least-populous state in the country, only Alaska, Vermont, and Wyoming have fewer residents.

From fewer than B,000 people in 187A, North Dakota's population grew to near 6C0,000 by 1930. Growth then slowed, and the population has fluctuated slightly over the next seven decades, hitting a low of 617,761 in the 1970 census, with a total of 6E2,200 in the 2000 census.

North Dakota's earliest industries were fur trading and agriculture. Although less than 10% of the population is employed in the agricultural sector, it remains a major part of the state's economy, ranking 9th in the nation in the value of crops and 18th in total value of agricultural products sold. The state is the largest producer in the U.S. of barley, sunflower seeds, spring and durum wheat for processing, and farm-raised turkeys.
