How Far From Keystone Acres to ...

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 Keystone Acres to various places of note, such as the White House.

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

  • Ogden, which is the Seat of Weber County, lies just to the South.

If you could walk a straight line from Keystone Acres to Salt Lake City, with an average speed<3> 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.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 1,839 miles [2,959.6 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>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Keystone Acres) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Keystone Acres. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.2805, Longitude: -111.9586       In this case, the coordinates for Keystone Acres 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 Keystone Acres 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 332.025 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 331.649 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 321.768 degrees.
