From Magnolia to Monroe, which listed mileage is NW?

When you move from Magnolia to Monroe, you look at where Monroe sits relative to Magnolia on the map. If Monroe is up and to the left of Magnolia, the direction you travel is northwest. The distance along that line is 18 miles, so describing Monroe as 18 miles northwest matches the actual gap between the two towns. Descriptions that point southwest or northeast would place the destination in the opposite direction, and other distances would mean a different separation.
