A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- The Rock) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in The Rock. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 32.9640, Longitude: -84.2410 In this case, the coordinates for The Rock have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
