What the 14.5-mile baseline establishes
Review MVBH admissions for the treatment starting point, then contact MVBH for direct communication. For this route, the confirmed geographic reference is 14.5 straight-line miles between representative points in Topsfield and Amesbury.
The decision begins with what the number measures. Census representative coordinates place the Topsfield point at 42.641387, -70.943385 and the Amesbury point at 42.851276, -70.95579. Applying the haversine formula with an Earth radius of 3,958.7613 miles gives a rounded baseline of 14.5 miles.
This baseline supports geographic orientation only. It can clarify that the destination is in Amesbury and that Topsfield is the origin used for comparison. It does not establish a route, a commute, transportation access, or a facility near the origin.
