How Far From Glade - Nelson 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 Glade - Nelson to various places of note, such as the White House.
With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance<2> beginning in Glade - Nelson and extending to:
- Ogden, which is the Seat of Weber County, lies just to the Northeast.
- Salt Lake City, which is the State Capital of Utah, lies 29 miles [46.7 km]<2> to the south southeast (SSE). If you could walk a straight line from Glade - Nelson to Salt Lake City, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take just about two full days to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take just over a day.
- The White House (Washington, DC) is 1,844 miles [2,967.6 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> | 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. |
<2> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Glade - Nelson) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Glade - Nelson. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.1719, Longitude: -112.0291 In this case, the coordinates for Glade - Nelson have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
<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 Glade - Nelson 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 332.071 degrees. |
<6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 331.694 degrees. |
<7> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 321.818 degrees. |
