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

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

• Anderson, which is the Seat of Anderson County, lies just to the South Southeast.
• Columbia, which is the State Capital of South Carolina, lies 100 miles [160.9 km]<2> to the east southeast (ESE). If you could drive a straight line from Mount Vernon to Columbia, with an average speed<5>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 432 miles [695.2 km] to the northeast (NE). Driving would take most of a day, a buggy would take 17 days and walking would take 25 days.
• The shortest distance<6> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 6,329 miles [10,185.5 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<7>
