Armed with this data, and hours and hours of computer time, The Washington Post processed every pixel and every populated place in the contiguous United States to find the one that best represents the “middle of nowhere.”Congratulations, Glasgow, Mont.! Below, we've mapped the 10 most isolated towns in the United States. The measurement is daunting enough in the United States, but it quickly becomes nearly impossible in the developing world. We focused our analysis on that previously impossible search for the most remote places in the contiguous United States, using a variant of the methodology the researchers used. For the most extreme case — finding the world’s hardest-to-access places regardless of population — we used a data set created by the researchers.
