A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Gardenville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Gardenville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 46.4627, Longitude: -84.3012 |

However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now.
