“Roughly a trapezoid” that averages 1650 miles/2660 km across from north to south.
Edit: I just looked it up, the northernmost point is Angle Inlet, MN. The southernmost point is Key West, FL. Both are on the map. If you drove nonstop from one to the other, it would take you 36 hours.
What’s funny to me is that this is just the North to South axis, so if you want to full on go NW to SE, you can do Cape Flattery, WA to Key West, FL for a 55 hour road trip, assuming you’re on meth and have a fuel tank large enough to do 3650 miles or roughly 5870 km without stopping.
I’m now tempted to take a month off to come visit your country some time in the next few years, enjoying the best of both worlds: My 28 days of basic PTO as an Estonian, and your amazing landscapes in the US.
Of course I’m also worried that if I were to customize the route to include places actually worth visiting, rather than just stopping at gas stations and hotels, a month wouldn’t be close to enough. Just adding the Grand Canyon adds like 8 or 9 extra hours of driving!

I’ve always wanted to take the East/West train route across the U.S. (while it still exists). Start in New York and end in California.
