How Far From Lyndale 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 Lyndale to various places of note, such as the White House.
With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Lyndale and extending to:
- Annapolis, which is the Seat of Anne Arundel County, lies just to the South.
- Annapolis, which is the State Capital of Maryland, lies just to the south (S).
- The White House (Washington, DC) is 32 miles [51.5 km]<1> to the west southwest (WSW). If you could walk a straight line from Lyndale to White House, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take most of two 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 shortest distance<4> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 5,865 miles [9,438.8 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<5>
- The distance to the Great Mosque of Mecca (specifically the Ka'bah - or Kaaba ) is 6,570 miles [10,573.4 km] and it lies to the east northeast (ENE).<6>

Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a '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- Lyndale) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Lyndale. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.1079, Longitude: -76.4872 In this case, the coordinates for Lyndale 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 Lyndale 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 307.552 degrees. |
| <6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 303.087 degrees. |
| <7> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 304.401 degrees. |
