A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Berrytown) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Berrytown. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.0126, Longitude: -75.5941 In this case, the coordinates for Berrytown have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
