How Far From Edendale 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 Edendale to various places of note, such as the White House.
With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers and using the location of where the historic community of Edendale once stood, the straight-line distance beginning in Edendale and extending to:
- Los Angeles, which is the Seat of Los Angeles County, lies just to the South Southeast.
- Sacramento, which is the State Capital of California, lies 358 miles [576.1 km]<2> to the north northwest (NNW). If you could drive a straight line from Edendale to Sacramento, with an average speed<3>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take five to six hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 21 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 14 days.
- The White House (Washington, DC) is 2,293 miles [3,690.2 km] to the east northeast (ENE). Driving would take 5 days, a buggy would take 90 days and walking would take 131 days.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Edendale, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
| <2> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Edendale) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. |
| <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 Edendale to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Edendale. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 34.0790, Longitude: -118.2626 In this case, the coordinates for Edendale have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
| <5> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 336.259 degrees. |
| <6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 336.168 degrees. |
| <7> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 325.643 degrees. |
