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

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

A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take most of a day.

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 obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Huntington Woods) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Huntington Woods. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.9943, Longitude: -76.6358       In this case, the coordinates for Huntington Woods 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.
