The issue you are having is that you can look at a map and Target appears, correctly, to be only about a mile away at most via how the crow flies. The problem is that you are not a crow and walking in that direction means you would need to go through about a half mile of thick woods and swamp for which there are no trails. To get to Target, you have to go in the opposite direction from where Target is first to Sherberth Road and getting there via that route is over four miles.
