A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Rosalie) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Rosalie. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.0573, Longitude: -96.5128 In this case, the coordinates for Rosalie have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
