How Far From Country Square 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 Country Square to various places of note, such as the White House.

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Country Square and extending to:

  • Dallas, which is the Seat of Paulding County, lies just to the North.
  • Atlanta, which is the State Capital of Georgia, lies 27 miles [43.5 km]<1> to the east southeast (ESE). If you could walk a straight line from Country Square to Atlanta, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take just about two full 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 554 miles [891.6 km] to the northeast (NE). Driving, with an average speed of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, would take just over a day, a buggy would take 22 days and walking would take 32 days.

Footnotes ...

<1>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 from Point A (ie- Country Square) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Country Square. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 33.8909, Longitude: -84.8386       In this case, the coordinates for Country Square 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 Country Square 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 312.525 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 308.01 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 309.43 degrees.
