How Far From Stoney Brook 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 Stoney Brook to various places of note, such as the White House.

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

• Rockville, which is the Seat of Montgomery County, lies just to the West Northwest.
• Annapolis, which is the State Capital of Maryland, lies 32 miles [51.5 km]<1> to the east (E). If you could walk a straight line from Stoney Brook to Annapolis, 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 White House (Washington, DC) is 11 miles [17.7 km] to the south southeast (SSE). The buggy would take nearly four hours and walking would take five to six hours.
