How Far From Bergerville 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 community such as Bergerville to various places of note, such as Parliament Hill.

  • The National Capital at Parliament Hill (Ottawa, ON) is 232 miles [373.4 km]<1> to the west southwest (WSW). If you could drive a straight line from Bergerville to Parliament Hill, with an average speed<3>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take nearly four hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 14 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 9 days.

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- Bergerville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Bergerville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 46.7808, Longitude: -71.2547    
<2>If we found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'. We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database.
<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 Bergerville 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 303.351 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 299.634 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 298.274 degrees.
