<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 drawn from Point A (ie- West Union) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in West Union. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.1905, Longitude: -92.4466 In this case, the coordinates for West Union have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
