| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance.  A straight line distance ignores  obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Prairie Dale) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Prairie Dale.  The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.6972, Longitude: -104.5033        In this case, the coordinates for Prairie Dale have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
