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

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers and using the location of where the historic<3> community of Carperville once stood, the straight-line distance<4> beginning in Carperville and extending to:

• Hardin, which is the Seat of Big Horn County, lies just to the South.
• Helena, which is the State Capital of Montana, lies 216 miles [347.6 km]<4> to the west northwest (WNW). If you could drive a straight line from Carperville to Helena, with an average speed<5>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take nearly four hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 13 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 9 days.
• The White House (Washington, DC) is 1,620 miles [2,607.1 km] to the east (E). Driving would take most of three days, a buggy would take 64 days and walking would take 92 days.
