Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Woodhaven) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Woodhaven. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.9937, Longitude: -77.1333 In this case, the coordinates for Woodhaven have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
