<1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Hedges) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Hedges. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.9737, Longitude: -92.2215 In this case, the coordinates for Hedges have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
