How Far From La Casa to ...

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

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance<3> beginning in La Casa and extending to:

  • Tampa, which is the Seat of Hillsborough County, lies just to the West.
  • Tallahassee, which is the State Capital of Florida, lies 203 miles [326.7 km]<3> to the north northwest (NNW). If you could drive a straight line from La Casa to Tallahassee, with an average speed<4>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take a little over three hours to make the trip.

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 La Casa, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<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>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- La Casa) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in La Casa. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 27.9654, Longitude: -82.4413       In this case, the coordinates for La Casa have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<4>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.
<5>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 La Casa to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 310.821 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 305.218 degrees.
<8>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 309.882 degrees.
