<1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Sears) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Sears. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 47.5425, Longitude: -104.2924 In this case, the coordinates for Sears have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
