Nearest Communities to La Puente,
Listed County-By-County
The purpose of this page is to identify those communities that are closest to La Puente, on a County-by-County basis. To explain further, let's use the example from the Genealogy Helper Page for La Puente:
We have great-grandparents who lived in a small community in the southwest corner of their home county. During their lives, most doctors were in the next county to the west. Almost all of the nearby churches and cemeteries were in the county to the south.
When doing our research, we make it a practice to expand our search by looking in neighboring counties in addition to the county in which they lived: their home county contained property and probate records; the county to the west contained birth and death records; the county to the south contained their burial records. If we hadn't checked the neighboring counties, we would have missed many valuable sources of information.
Please note that when we give a distance, it's a 'straight-line' distance from La Puente.<1>

A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- La Puente) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in La Puente. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.7000, Longitude: -106.6009 In this case, the coordinates for La Puente have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |

<3> | Our data comes from many sources and some sources are more dependable than others.
