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

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

  • Allentown, which is the Seat of Lehigh County, lies just to the East Northeast.
  • Harrisburg, which is the State Capital of Pennsylvania, lies 74 miles [119.1 km]<1> to the west southwest (WSW). If you could drive a straight line from Bungalow Park to Harrisburg, 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 5 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take most of three days.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 141 miles [226.9 km] to the southwest (SW). Driving would take less than three hours, a buggy would take 6 days and walking would take 8 days.
  • The shortest distance<4> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 5,763 miles [9,274.6 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- Bungalow Park) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Bungalow Park. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 40.5820, Longitude: -75.5260       In this case, the coordinates for Bungalow Park 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 Bungalow Park 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 306.862 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 302.537 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 303.383 degrees.
