How Far From Scenic View 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 Scenic View to various places of note, such as the White House.

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

• Bel Air, which is the Seat of Harford County, lies just to the South.
• Annapolis, which is the State Capital of Maryland, lies 45 miles [72.4 km]<1> to the south (S). If you could walk a straight line from Scenic View to Annapolis, with an average speed<4> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take about three full days to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take most of two days.
• The White House (Washington, DC) is 62 miles [99.8 km] to the southwest (SW). Driving, with an average speed of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, would take less than an hour, a buggy would take about three full days and walking would take most of three days.
