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 drawn from Point A (ie- Deer Ridge) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Deer Ridge. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 37.5748, Longitude: -88.9389
