A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Meridian) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Meridian. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 30.9255, Longitude: -92.4054       In this case, the coordinates for Meridian have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
