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

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

If you could walk a straight line from Clothier to Oklahoma City, with an average speed<4> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take five to six hours to make the trip.

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a '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- Clothier) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Clothier. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.3198, Longitude: -97.4148       In this case, the coordinates for Clothier have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
