A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Lawrencetown) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Lawrencetown. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 44.6710, Longitude: -63.3840
