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

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

  • Baton Rouge, which is the Seat of East Baton Rouge Parish, lies just to the Southwest.
  • Baton Rouge, which is the State Capital of Louisiana, lies just to the southwest (SW).
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 984 miles [1,583.6 km]<1> to the northeast (NE). If you could drive a straight line from Sunnybrook to White House, with an average speed<3>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take most of two days to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 56 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 39 days.
  • The shortest distance<4> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 6,876 miles [11,065.8 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<5>
  • The distance to the Great Mosque of Mecca (specifically the Ka'bah - or Kaaba ) is 7,587 miles [12,210.1 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<6>
  • The distance to Saint Peter's Basilica (The Vatican) is 5,463 miles [8,791.8 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<7>

Footnotes ...

<1>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 drawn from Point A (ie- Sunnybrook) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Sunnybrook. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 30.4930, Longitude: -91.0870       In this case, the coordinates for Sunnybrook 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 Sunnybrook 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 316.002 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 311.577 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 312.537 degrees.
