How Far From Geneseo 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 village such as Geneseo to various places of note, such as the White House.
With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Geneseo and extending to:
- Albany, which is the State Capital of New York, lies 205 miles [329.9 km]<1> to the east (E). If you could drive a straight line from Geneseo to Albany, with an average speed<3>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take a little over three hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 12 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 8 days.
- The White House (Washington, DC) is 272 miles [437.7 km] to the south (S). Driving would take four to five hours, a buggy would take 11 days and walking would take 16 days.
- The shortest distance<4> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 5,764 miles [9,276.3 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<5>

Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Geneseo) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. |
| <2> | While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program. |
| <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 Geneseo to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Geneseo. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.7964, Longitude: -77.8168 |
| <5> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 308.066 degrees. |
| <6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 304.248 degrees. |
| <7> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 303.49 degrees. |
