Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or 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- Country Village) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Country Village. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 34.2412, Longitude: -84.8586       In this case, the coordinates for Country Village have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
