Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Suttons Corner) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Suttons Corner. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 43.3242, Longitude: -76.2877       In this case, the coordinates for Suttons Corner have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
