A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Tisdale) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Tisdale. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.0404, Longitude: -121.7861 In this case, the coordinates for Tisdale have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
