Default Distance in miles from one end of TV to the other

What is the approximate distance in miles from the most northern end of TV down to 466A?

CT:

I have calculated that the straight-line distance (that is, "as the crow flies") between CR466A in the south and CR42 in the north is 9.8 miles. I have not measured it by an actual odometer reading, but I'm guessing at least 11 miles.

Using the "ruler" in Google earth, I calculated 9.43 miles in a straight line from the intersection of Buena Vista and CR42 to the intersection of Buena Vista and CR 44A. There will be about another .4 miles added when Buena Vista intersects with CR 44.
Actual driving mileage will be considerably longer.

I have clients in Hadley, Hemmingway, Duval, Orange Blossom and points in between. If I go from the south side of the water tower in Orange Blossom to Hadley, it is a little under 12 miles. Rio Grande/Morse to Poinciana is approximately 8 miles.

Drive time depends on time of day and whether I'm using a golf cart, car or scooter.

I once drove in a rental golf cart (14MPH?) from Liberty Park up Buena Vista to the shopping center on 42 and it took around 45 minutes.
Using a very unscientific method, I'd guess that distance to be around 3/4 of 12 (I'm using 12 because I didn't maintain full speed the whole way, and because 12 is easier to divide into quarters) and I'd guess it was 9 miles. Add another mile or so from Liberty Park south to 466A, and I'd guess a total of 10 or 11 miles.
That's fairly close to the measurements above.
