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 Fuit to various places of note, such as the White House.
With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance<1> beginning in Fuit and extending to:

If you could walk a straight line from Fuit to Farmington, with an average speed<2> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take most of a day to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take four to five hours.
- Salt Lake City, which is the State Capital of Utah, lies 28 miles [45.1 km] to the south southeast (SSE). The buggy would take just over a day and walking would take just about two full days.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or 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- Fuit) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. |
| <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 Fuit 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 Fuit. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.1411, Longitude: -112.0958 In this case, the coordinates for Fuit have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
| <4> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 332.121 degrees. |
| <5> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 331.75 degrees. |
| <6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 321.859 degrees. |
