Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Fort Gibson) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Fort Gibson. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.7767, Longitude: -95.2600 In this case, the coordinates for Fort Gibson have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
