A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- West Saint Paul) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in West Saint Paul. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 50.0086, Longitude: -97.1440
