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

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

  • Mount Holly, which is the Seat of Burlington County, lies just to the North Northwest.
  • Trenton, which is the State Capital of New Jersey, lies 22 miles [35.4 km]<1> to the north (N). If you could walk a straight line from Beaverville to Trenton, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take just over a day to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take most of a day.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 140 miles [225.3 km] to the west southwest (WSW). Driving, with an average speed of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, would take less than three hours, a buggy would take 6 days and walking would take 8 days.

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Beaverville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Beaverville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.9018, Longitude: -74.7418       In this case, the coordinates for Beaverville have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<2>The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.
<3>While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day.
<4>The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Beaverville to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 306.459 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 301.973 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 303.336 degrees.
