A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Auburnville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Auburnville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.0695, Longitude: -70.9634 In this case, the coordinates for Auburnville have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
