Easy U.S. History Mystery

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but it is within a few miles!!! To be completely honest, I've never been a huge fan of mystery caches. This is mainly because they're so hard! I think that if more mystery caches in my area were easier, I'd be much more interested. As it is, I only do mystery caches if I can get an achievement (i.e. Pi Day, or Geocaching Road Trip). I like most puzzles, but the puzzles associated with these caches are incredibly difficult and no longer fun.
To solve this mystery cache you must replace the state abbreviations with the state’s position in the list of U.S. states admitted to the Union by date. By this I mean, Alaska (AK) = 49 or Hawaii (HI) = 50. Being that Alaska was the 49th state admitted, it's number is 49 and the same with Hawaii. N 37 21.5(MD)(NH), W 122 0(CT).0(RI)
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
For the FTF there is an awesome trackable all the way from Germany. Congrats to lel_h for the FTF!
