Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Rogers Acres) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Rogers Acres. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 32.7565, Longitude: -83.7846 In this case, the coordinates for Rogers Acres have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
