Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Three Brothers) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Three Brothers. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.4526, Longitude: -92.4657       In this case, the coordinates for Three Brothers have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
