I've gotten drawn into a debate on a geography forum I visit about what parts of the Midwest (if any) constitute the eastern US. Most people agree that anything in Central time can't really be considered eastern, but there's a poster who just stridently asserts that states like Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri aren't just Eastern, but decidedly Eastern in terms of climate, flora, and fauna, and geography. This seems like an insane take to me, but I'm willing to entertain the idea that I'm the outlier here.
I've always considered Iowa the most wholly Midwestern state, and view the Mississippi as the east/west fulcrum of the United States, but I believe you have to quite a ways in either direction before you're truly in the "west" or the "east".
Where's the CF peanut gallery on this question?
