How Far From Bayside Beach to ...

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

  • Annapolis, which is the Seat of Anne Arundel County, lies 11 miles [17.7 km]<1> to the south southwest. If you could walk a straight line from Bayside Beach to Annapolis, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take five to six hours to make the trip.

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- Bayside Beach) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Bayside Beach. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.1365, Longitude: -76.4433       In this case, the coordinates for Bayside Beach 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 Bayside Beach 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 307.524 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 303.06 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 304.371 degrees.
