It seems from Google Maps that the parallel is actually passing just south of Punta de Tarifa, not through it. But this "just" is actually just: it seems to be around 10-15 meters. (Which may even be under the accuracy of Google Maps.)
The question is: where the parallel actually lies? Are there any reliable sources on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.77.78.146 ( talk) 21:28, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
The current (2013-06-19) version of this page says that this parallel runs through North Carolina for 14 km. This is extremely incorrect, unless I'm missing something (in which case, please let me know).
Looking at both Google Maps and Google Earth, it looks to me as if the 36th North parallel runs straight through the Abermarle Sound in Eastern NC. This places it inside NC for most of the width of the state, which is about 900 km. So where did 14 km come from?
If nobody explains where the 14 km comes from, I'll correct this page in a few days. ZoneAlarm5 ( talk) 18:07, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
The 36th parallel N runs right through Kill Devil Hills which was the site of the Wright Brothers first powered flights in 1903. Should that be included in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.82.87.226 ( talk) 13:36, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
This article says that the garden is on the north of the parallel. That is not true. There is a stone marker in the garden for the 36th parallel. It is quite close to the edge of the garden, maybe the writer did not investigate this issue closely and made a mistake. 2603:6080:940:6A5:5DAB:DDCE:1838:8F9D ( talk) 12:16, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
