View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to Fort McPherson and the countries closest to Fort McPherson by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near Canada.

Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Fort McPherson, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Fort McPherson at a glance.
