Texline, TX and those other capitals

My friend who reads my blog found another city which is closer to six capital cities than its own state capital: Texline, Texas! Located in the northwestern part of the Texas Panhandle, Texline is incredibly far from Austin, but a lot closer to the capitals of New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Kansas, and Nebraska! And unlike Robbinsville, NC, Texline is closer in both straight line distances and travel distances.

Capital City As The Crow Flies (mi) Road Travel (mi)
Santa Fe, NM 170 226
Denver, CO 255 313
Oklahoma City, OK 315 385
Cheyenne, WY 343 412
Topeka, KS 442 496
Lincoln, NE 460 590
Austin, TX 520 648
