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

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

  • Carrollton, which is the Seat of Carroll County, lies just to the East.
  • Columbus, which is the State Capital of Ohio, lies 102 miles [164.2 km]<1> to the west southwest (WSW). If you could drive a straight line from Valleyview to Columbus, with an average speed<3>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take less than two hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 6 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take three full days.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 249 miles [400.7 km] to the east southeast (ESE). Driving would take nearly four hours, a buggy would take 10 days and walking would take 15 days.
  • The shortest distance<4> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 5,996 miles [9,649.6 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<5>

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 from Point A (ie- Valleyview) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Valleyview. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 40.5640, Longitude: -81.2001       In this case, the coordinates for Valleyview 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 Valleyview 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 310.328 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 306.463 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 305.927 degrees.
