Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Dungannon) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Dungannon. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 40.7342, Longitude: -80.8787       In this case, the coordinates for Dungannon have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
