A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Chepachet) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Chepachet. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.9110, Longitude: -75.1213 In this case, the coordinates for Chepachet have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
