A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Springtown) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Springtown. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.2608, Longitude: -94.4238 In this case, the coordinates for Springtown have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
