Footnotes ...
| <1> | If we found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'. We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database. |

A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Mosers River) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Mosers River. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.0112, Longitude: -62.2653 |
