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

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

• Annapolis, which is the Seat of Anne Arundel County, lies just to the North Northwest.
• Annapolis, which is the State Capital of Maryland, lies just to the north northwest (NNW).
• The White House (Washington, DC) is 29 miles [46.7 km]<1> to the west (W). If you could walk a straight line from New Point to White House, with an average speed<2> 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.
