| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- New Hampton) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in New Hampton. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 40.2643, Longitude: -94.1942 |

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.
