Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a '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- Hill N Dale) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Hill N Dale. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.6226, Longitude: -75.6183 In this case, the coordinates for Hill N Dale have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
