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

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

  • Farmington, which is the Seat of Davis County, lies just to the South Southeast.
  • Salt Lake City, which is the State Capital of Utah, lies 19 miles [30.6 km]<1> to the south (S). If you could walk a straight line from Creekside to Salt Lake City, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take just over a day to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 6 hours.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 1,840 miles [2,961.2 km] to the east (E). Driving, with an average speed of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, would take most of three days, a buggy would take 72 days and walking would take 105 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 from Point A (ie- Creekside) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'.
<2>While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program.
<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 Creekside to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Creekside. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.0441, Longitude: -111.9299       In this case, the coordinates for Creekside have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 331.981 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 331.577 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 321.769 degrees.
