<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance starting in Fairbanks. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Fairbanks) to Point B.

If you need the driving distance (or directions), we recommend that you use one of the Mapping Services listed on our Map Page for Fairbanks. Since we usually use Google Maps, we've provided the following link: Google Map and Driving Directions starting from Fairbanks

Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Fairbanks. The point that we are using is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 64.8370, Longitude: -147.7265     [Map].
