In Minneapolis, it would be from a point that, on the city's grid system, would be at the corner of East 62 Street and 46 Avenue South--were it not for the fact that in reality, this point in the city lies in one of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport's runways--north west in a straight line to the corner of 53 Avenue North and Xerxes Avenue North in the Shingle Creek Neighborhood.
~13.5 miles for Boston as the crow flies between the Readville-Milton line and the East Boston-Revere line. (Did not bother trying to navigate from anywhere in the water boundaries of the city into Massachusetts Bay.)
NORTH to SOUTH: 40 miles
WEST to EAST(via Lake Ray Hubbard: Owned by the City of Dallas): 54 miles
54 miles?
Even at a diagonal from above Lake Ray Hubbard to the southern point near Joe Pool Lake I'm only getting 39.8 miles. Fort Worth is 34.3 N to S.
The line is from near Joe Pool Lake...touching Cedar Hill(1382/New Clark Rd)all the way to North of Lake Ray Hubbard...near TX-78...that is all Dallas.
Didn't know Dallas limits stretched that far. Expected that from Houston because it stops and picks back up to include certain areas, but didn't know Dallas was as expansive
Someone posted that Los Angeles has a 45.14 mile north to south city limits distance which implies it is wider than Houston.
What's interesting is L.A. City limits covers 503 square miles but Houston is over 650 square miles.
Someone else said Houston at its longest is 44 miles.
So L.A. is longer but not as wide as Houston?
LA is very irregularly shaped. There's a narrow strip from the main part south to the ports that expands near the ports so that the city of LA has port access.
I'm going to need cities to standardize their limits to 1x 1 miles for downtown, 10 x 10 miles for city limits and 50 x 50 miles for its metro. No consideration given for natural boundaries. You go 5 miles and end up underwater so be it.
In Baton Rouge, is probably to leave the airport and head south down Interstate 110 all the way to I-10 East via downtown, then I-12 east past O'Neal Lane, where the city limits end shortly before you cross the Amite River into Livingston Parish. That's usually a 20 minute drive without traffic, up to an hour with traffic.
Not sure about New Orleans but all of Orleans Parish is considered the New Orleans city limits including large portions of wild life refuge.
