easternmost
Closest to sunrise
Easternmost describes whatever lies farthest to the east within a given area or among a group of things.
It is the superlative form of eastern, used when comparing positions: Hawaii is the easternmost state if you measure by longitude, but Alaska technically extends farther east across the 180th meridian.
The word appears most often in geographic descriptions, identifying the extreme eastern boundary or location of a region, chain of islands, or set of landmarks.
