A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Stewart Town) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Stewart Town. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.1793, Longitude: -77.1897 In this case, the coordinates for Stewart Town have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
