farthermost

At extreme distance

Farthermost means most distant or remote—the extreme of far.

It emphasizes maximum distance more emphatically than farthest: the farthermost reaches of the empire, the farthermost corner of the attic.

The word is formal and somewhat literary; furthermost is a common variant.
