A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Reeves Place) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Reeves Place. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.8890, Longitude: -123.1136       In this case, the coordinates for Reeves Place have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
