Footnotes ...

A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- South Liberty) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in South Liberty. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.2011, Longitude: -94.3891       In this case, the coordinates for South Liberty have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
