    Greatest distance between any two points in the 50 states: 5,859 miles (9,429 km), from Kure Atoll, Hawaii, to Log Point, Elliott Key, Florida. [23] Greatest distance between any two points in the contiguous 48 states: 2,901 miles (4,669 km), from North Farallon Island, California, to Sail Rock, east of West Quoddy Head, Maine. [23]

  3. Baseline (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseline_(surveying)

    In surveying, a baseline is generally a line between two points on the Earth's surface and the direction and/or distance between them. In a triangulation network, at least one distance between two stations needs to be measured to calculate the size of the triangles by trigonometry. In relative Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveying ...

  4. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

    The shortest distance between two points in plane is a Cartesian straight line. The Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate the distance between points in a plane. Even over short distances, the accuracy of geographic distance calculations which assume a flat Earth depend on the method by which the latitude and longitude coordinates have been ...

  5. Public Land Survey System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Land_Survey_System

    The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) is the surveying method developed and used in the United States to plat, or divide, real property for sale and settling. Also known as the Rectangular Survey System, it was created by the Land Ordinance of 1785 to survey land ceded to the United States by the Treaty of Paris in 1783, following the end of the ...

  6. Euclidean distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance

    Euclidean distance. In mathematics, the Euclidean distance between two points in Euclidean space is the length of the line segment between them. It can be calculated from the Cartesian coordinates of the points using the Pythagorean theorem, and therefore is occasionally called the Pythagorean distance. These names come from the ancient Greek ...

  7. Two-point equidistant projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-point_equidistant...

    The two points are Rome, Italy and Luoyang, China. The two-point equidistant projection or doubly equidistant projection is a map projection first described by Hans Maurer in 1919 and Charles Close in 1921. [1][2] It is a generalization of the much simpler azimuthal equidistant projection. In this two-point form, two locus points are chosen by ...

  8. Surveying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveying

    Surveying. A surveyor using a total station. A student using a theodolite in field. Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, art, and science of determining the terrestrial two-dimensional or three-dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth ...

  9. Great-circle distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance

    The great-circle distance, orthodromic distance, or spherical distance is the distance between two points on a sphere, measured along the great-circle arc between them. This arc is the shortest path between the two points on the surface of the sphere. (By comparison, the shortest path passing through the sphere's interior is the chord between ...
