Hey, I remember a similar analysis of this back in 2009. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090925222851/http://www.weathersealed.com/2009/09/22/where-the-buffalo-roamed/" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20090925222851/http://www.weathe...</a> , with HN comments at <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=840542" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=840542</a> .<p>That one determined: "Between the tiny Dakotan hamlets of Meadow and Glad Valley lies the McFarthest Spot: 107 miles distant from the nearest McDonald’s, as the crow flies, and 145 miles by car!"<p>That was done with "13,000-or-so U.S. restaurants", this new one with "almost 14000 locations".
