The other lines of latitude are the shortest distance between points (it is this reason that an aeroplane travelling between European and North American city on the lattitude will fly further north over Greenland for example) and are thus not "lines" in the geometry of the sphere.
A circle of latitude is often called " parallel " because circles of latitude are a distance apart and on some map projections the Mercator projection they are parallel.

It was a journey not only away from home, but toward it; which is the beauty of traveling in a circle, and the irony of adventure.
Beginning in his hometown of Easton, Connecticut, Prosek circumnavigated the globe along the 41st parallel.
Several of the streams he fishes in Turkey and the Balkans bring him through areas of turmoil, and in countries where fishing is done for food instead of enjoyment, he is often greeted with puzzlement, but throughout, he is at home on the water.

The portion of the company's territory north of the 38th parallel was shared with the Plymouth Company, with the stipulation that neither company found a colony within 100 miles (160 km) of each other.
As a result, the charter for the London Company was adjusted with a new grant that extended from "sea to sea" of the previously-shared area between the 34th and 40th parallel.

The most northerly survey, between the 47th and 49th parallels, was under the direction of Isaac Ingalls Stevens, governor of Washington Territory.
The ill-fated party under Capt. John W. Gunnison was to explore the route along the 38th and 39th parallels, or the Cochetopoa Pass route, which was advocated by Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton.
The most southerly survey, which followed the 32d parallel, was surveyed by Lt. John G. Parke from California along the Gila River to the Pima villages and the Rio Grande.

 Chapter 7 of Ohio Land Subdivisions
By the King Charles charter of 1662 she was to have a strip from sea to sea bounded on the north by Massachusetts and on the south approximately by the forty-first parallel as suggested in Plate 3.
This parallel was intended to form the south boundary of the Connecticut Western Reserve in Ohio according to acts of the Colony listed on page 19 preceding.
This is another case of "substantial performance." At the time the line was run the instruments were crude, the country wooded or swampy, and the company surveyors not experienced in precise surveying.

The political status of the Reserve was in dispute between Connecticut and the United States until 1800, when the United States confirmed Connecticut's title to the soil of the tract, and Connecticut released all her claims to political authority over it.
The townships bounded by these lines were designated by both "range" and "tier" numbers, the first numbering west from Pennsylvania and the second north from the 41st parallel.

Whipple's expedition was a success, and his route a viable one, but he overestimated the cost of building a railroad along this route by as much as double the real figures.
Significantly, the 41st parallel route was not explored, as parts had been explored on earlier expeditions.

 The Cuyahoga - Chapter 6   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The plan was to move south on this boundary to the 41st parallel, then run their own southern boundary west from it for 120 miles.
At the 41st parallel, the party ran the Western Reserve’s south line, not the full 120 miles, just far enough to give them a line from which to get started on a few vertical range lines.
Therefore, Augustus Porter, second in command of the survey party, hastened his survey of the fourth range line from the 41st parallel to the lake, and then was excused from running the parallels to create the townships.

 YAM April 2003 - In Print
Prosek's rural abode lay at 41 degrees north latitude, and over the next few years, he circumnavigated the 41st parallel in search of trout.
The result is an engaging travelogue in which the young fly-fisherman and artist, driven by what he freely admits is loucura -- "craziness," in Portuguese -- roams the globe in the company of other loucuriacs bound together by a similar passion.
With professional ichthyologists, trout aficionados, and friends, both old and new (Prosek's charm serves him well wherever he goes), there are additional excursions along the 41st -- to the Seine in Paris, a high-altitude stream in Kyrgyzstan, a pool in Hokkaido, Japan, and a creek in Colorado, among others.

Yes, after reading “Fly fishing the 41st” I thought it would be interesting to fly fish my own parallel.
In fact, I think the 46th is a bit more interesting than the 41st, but I’m probably biased.
