That depends on where in New York you are talking about. If you type "New York" to "Mount Rushmore" on mapquest, then it is about 1724 miles.
The sculptures on Mount Rushmore were designed by Gutzon Borglum. Mount Rushmore is named for a New York City attorney who was in the Black Hills in 1885 checking titles to properties. One day, while riding past the mountain, Rushmore asked guide William W. Challis what the name of the mountain was. Challis jokingly replied that the mountain did not have a name, but that it did now, that they would call it "Rushmore". The United States Board of Geographic Names officially recognized the name "Mount Rushmore" in June 1930. Mount Rushmore was originally known to the Lakota Sioux as "Six Grandfathers".
Before it was named Mount Rushmore, it was known to the Lakota Sioux Native Americans as Six Grandfathers. The granite mountain that bears the monument was named long before its destiny to be the backdrop for a great mountain carving was known. Mount Rushmore was named in honor of New York lawyer Charles E. Rushmore in 1885. Bill Challis was a local guide escorting Rushmore, who was visiting the Black Hills to check land claims. As the story goes, Rushmore asked Challis the name of a mountain as they passed, and Challis responded that it did not have a name, but from then on it would be called Rushmore.
It is 1,724 miles according to Google Maps.
