I once filled out a report on rural libraries that asked how far it was to 
was to the nearest city of 25,000 (limited to cities within the state). The 
answer for our library was 380 miles.  Another library in our system was 
even further away, nearly 500 miles. Luckily for us, we were on the state 
border and only had a trip of 100 miles to get to a decent shopping mall in 
a neighboring state. Was this in one of the wide open Western states? Nope
