How Far From Munsonville 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 Munsonville 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 obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Munsonville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Munsonville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 43.0142, Longitude: -72.1487       In this case, the coordinates for Munsonville have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
