How Far From Pueblo Nuevo 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 Pueblo Nuevo to various places of note, such as the White House.

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

  • Marfa, which is the Seat of Presidio County, lies 40 miles [64.4 km]<1> to the east northeast. If you could walk a straight line from Pueblo Nuevo to Marfa, with an average speed<2> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take over two days to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take just about two full days.
  • Austin, which is the State Capital of Texas, lies 412 miles [663 km] to the east (E). Driving, with an average speed of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, would take most of a day, a buggy would take 16 days and walking would take 24 days.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 1,676 miles [2,697.3 km] to the east northeast (ENE). Driving would take most of three days, a buggy would take 66 days and walking would take 96 days.

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Pueblo Nuevo) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Pueblo Nuevo. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 30.1218, Longitude: -104.6608       In this case, the coordinates for Pueblo Nuevo have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<2>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.
<3>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 Pueblo Nuevo to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
<4>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 324.991 degrees.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 322.162 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 318.466 degrees.
