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

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

  • Cleveland, which is the Seat of Bradley County, lies just to the South.
  • Nashville, which is the State Capital of Tennessee, lies 124 miles [199.6 km]<1> to the west northwest (WNW). If you could drive a straight line from Countryside Village to Nashville, with an average speed<3>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take about two hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 7 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 5 days.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 500 miles [804.7 km] to the east northeast (ENE). Driving would take most of a day, a buggy would take 20 days and walking would take 29 days.
  • The shortest distance<4> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 6,391 miles [10,285.3 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- Countryside Village) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Countryside Village. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.2267, Longitude: -84.8805       In this case, the coordinates for Countryside Village 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 Countryside Village 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 312.602 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 308.287 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 309.121 degrees.
