A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Evening Shade) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Evening Shade. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 34.9490, Longitude: -94.1369 In this case, the coordinates for Evening Shade have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
