A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Eastburn) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Eastburn. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.1042, Longitude: -82.7557 In this case, the coordinates for Eastburn have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
