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

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

  • Cleveland, which is the Seat of Bradley County, lies just to the West.
  • Nashville, which is the State Capital of Tennessee, lies 127 miles [204.4 km]<1> to the northwest (NW). If you could drive a straight line from East Cleveland to Nashville, with an average speed<3>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take less than three hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 8 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 5 days.

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- East Cleveland) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in East Cleveland. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.1609, Longitude: -84.8577       In this case, the coordinates for East Cleveland 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 East Cleveland 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 312.586 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 308.259 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 309.128 degrees.
