Depending on your definition of "mainland", you can get even more remote in southern Louisiana on the peninsula south of Fourleague Bay, southeast of the Atchafalaya Delta. Google Maps shows it as around 26 miles from any road.
But most of the corresponding "circle" will then be in the ocean.

- bombcar 4y agoOne of the terms thrown around is "navigable" - which includes things like roads, airports, and waterways that can be traversed by (usually motor) boat. Obviously since helicopters can land on Mt Everest, you ignore those. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2022/12/29/helicopter-land-summit-everest/ https://unofficialnetworks.com/2022/12/29/helicopter-land-su... One of the amusing things is that it is not that hard to get away from people - you only need to be about 270 miles from the nearest human to get a situation where that nearest human is in the International Space Station flying overhead. But you have to map out airliner routes, etc, as planes will fly over otherwise empty land/ocean.
