Footnotes ...
<1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Hudson Crossroads) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Hudson Crossroads. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.4787, Longitude: -75.1741 In this case, the coordinates for Hudson Crossroads have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
<2> | An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates. That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace. |
