<1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Bay Saint Louis) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Bay Saint Louis. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 30.3111, Longitude: -89.3306 In this case, the coordinates for Bay Saint Louis have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
