How Far From Roebling to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers, Almanacs & Directories that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Roebling to various places of note, such as the White House.

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance<2> beginning in Roebling and extending to:

• Mount Holly, which is the Seat of Burlington County, lies just to the South.
• Trenton, which is the State Capital of New Jersey, lies just to the north northeast (NNE).
• The White House (Washington, DC) is 146 miles [235 km]<2> to the southwest (SW). If you could drive a straight line from Roebling to White House, with an average speed<3>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take less than three hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 9 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 6 days.
• The shortest distance<4> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 5,751 miles [9,255.3 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<5>
• The distance to the Great Mosque of Mecca (specifically the Ka'bah - or Kaaba ) is 6,456 miles [10,389.9 km] and it lies to the east northeast (ENE).<6>
