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

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

  • Rockville, which is the Seat of Montgomery County, lies just to the West.
  • Annapolis, which is the State Capital of Maryland, lies 29 miles [46.7 km]<1> to the east southeast (ESE). If you could walk a straight line from Naples Manor to Annapolis, with an average speed<4> 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 14 miles [22.5 km] to the south (S). The buggy would take four to five hours and walking would take most of a day.
  • The shortest distance<5> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 5,888 miles [9,475.8 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<6>

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- Naples Manor) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Naples Manor. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.1009, Longitude: -77.0263       In this case, the coordinates for Naples Manor 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're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program.
<4>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.
<5>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 Naples Manor to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
