<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 from Point A (ie- Big Lake) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Big Lake. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 33.0493, Longitude: -88.3931 In this case, the coordinates for Big Lake have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
