A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Mulgrave) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Mulgrave. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.9175, Longitude: -79.0945
