Footnotes ...

<1>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- North Pelham) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in North Pelham. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.7737, Longitude: -71.3526       In this case, the coordinates for North Pelham have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
