How Far From Waymark to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers, Almanacs & Directories that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Waymark to various places of note, such as the White House.

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance<2> beginning in Waymark and extending to:

• Salt Lake City, which is the Seat of Salt Lake County, lies just to the Northwest.
• Salt Lake City, which is the State Capital of Utah, lies just to the northwest (NW).
• The White House (Washington, DC) is 1,837 miles [2,956.4 km]<2> to the east (E). If you could drive a straight line from Waymark to White House, with an average speed<3>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take most of three days to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 105 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 72 days.
• The shortest distance<4> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 7,000 miles [11,265.4 km] and it lies to the north northeast (NNE).<5>
• The distance to the Great Mosque of Mecca (specifically the Ka'bah - or Kaaba ) is 7,769 miles [12,503 km] and it lies to the north northeast (NNE).<6>
• The distance to Saint Peter's Basilica (The Vatican) is 5,747 miles [9,248.9 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<7>
