How Far From Browerville 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 city such as Browerville to various places of note, such as the White House.

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 from Point A (ie- Browerville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Browerville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 46.0794, Longitude: -94.8642       In this case, the coordinates for Browerville have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
