A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- West Liberty) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in West Liberty. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 40.5334, Longitude: -84.9961 In this case, the coordinates for West Liberty have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
