<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- 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). |
