A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Millertown) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Millertown. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 48.8167, Longitude: -56.5333
