Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Anoka) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Anoka. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.9477, Longitude: -98.8309
