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 drawn from Point A (ie- Creekside) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Creekside. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.2917, Longitude: -85.5692 In this case, the coordinates for Creekside have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
