A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Gouldtown) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Gouldtown. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.4207, Longitude: -75.1844 In this case, the coordinates for Gouldtown have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
