A small concrete/geodetic marker and interpretive sign marking the exact center of the northern half of the Western Hemisphere (45°N, 90°W). Shoot the marker as a minimalist subject against open rural fields and big sky; dramatic sunrises, sunsets, and dark‑sky Milky Way frames work best. Easy roadside access with informal parking; no fees or gates. Visit spring–fall for green fields, late autumn for grasses, or winter for stark snow scenes. Weekday mornings are quiet; be prepared for rural dirt
