A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Eastover) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Eastover. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.3709, Longitude: -73.2576 In this case, the coordinates for Eastover have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
