How Far From West View Park to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as West View Park to various places of note, such as the White House.

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in West View Park and extending to:

  • Ogden, which is the Seat of Weber County, lies just to the Northeast.
  • Salt Lake City, which is the State Capital of Utah, lies 30 miles [48.3 km]<1> to the south southeast (SSE). If you could walk a straight line from West View Park to Salt Lake City, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take most of two days to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take just over a day.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 1,844 miles [2,967.6 km] to the east (E). Driving, with an average speed of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, would take most of three days, a buggy would take 72 days and walking would take 105 days.
  • The shortest distance<4> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 6,976 miles [11,226.8 km] and it lies to the north northeast (NNE).<5>

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- West View Park) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in West View Park. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.1866, Longitude: -112.0288       In this case, the coordinates for West View Park have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<2>The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.
<3>While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day.
<4>The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from West View Park to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 332.072 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 331.696 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 321.816 degrees.
