Where Ho-Chunk Bingo Sits: Fixed Point, Straight-Line Miles

The Fixed Point You Are Measuring From

Ho-Chunk Gaming – Wisconsin Dells sits at 43.528836 latitude and -89.77474 longitude, in the Town of Delton, Wisconsin, between Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo. The venue is owned by the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin. Every distance in this article is a straight-line, great-circle measurement from that fixed coordinate pair, not a road distance.

Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. This article does not publish driving miles, travel time, or any route instruction. If you are planning a trip, treat the figures below as a starting point for understanding relative position, then confirm road distance through a mapping tool using the venue's fixed coordinates.

Straight-Line Distances to Reference Cities

The table below lists every straight-line, great-circle distance documented for this venue. All values are measured from the venue's coordinates to the reference point named in the left column.

Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Diverge

A great-circle line is the shortest path across the surface of a sphere between two coordinate pairs. It ignores every obstacle on the ground. The road network cannot follow that line because it must cross terrain, avoid water, and connect through existing corridors.

Several factors widen the gap between straight-line and road distance. Topography forces routes around hills, ridges, and valleys. Water bodies require bridges or ferries at fixed crossing points. The road grid itself rarely runs directly toward a destination; it follows historical settlement patterns, county lines, and interstate corridors. State boundaries can also matter, since a direct path may cut across a border where no through road exists. All of these make the driven route longer than the number in the table above.

Where the Venue Sits Within Wisconsin

The venue's coordinates place it in the Town of Delton, Wisconsin, between Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo. From those coordinates, Milwaukee lies east-southeast of the venue, Chicago lies south-southeast, and Minneapolis lies northwest. The venue sits in the southern half of Wisconsin, west of Lake Michigan.

The Town of Delton is a fixed geographic point. Your starting point is not. If a question asks for distance "from me" or "from my location," no single answer exists, because the reference point changes with every reader. The correct method is to take the venue's coordinates and measure from your own position using a mapping tool that supports coordinate entry.
