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

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

  • Camden, which is the Seat of Camden County, lies 9 miles [14.5 km]<1> to the west northwest. If you could walk a straight line from Candlewyck to Camden, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take four to five hours to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take a little over three hours.
  • Trenton, which is the State Capital of New Jersey, lies 24 miles [38.6 km] to the north northeast (NNE). The buggy would take most of a day and walking would take just about two full days.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 131 miles [210.8 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' (or 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- Candlewyck) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Candlewyck. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.8921, Longitude: -74.9454       In this case, the coordinates for Candlewyck 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 Candlewyck 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 306.58 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 302.108 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 303.427 degrees.
