| <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  drawn from Point A (ie- Persist) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Persist.  The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.7665, Longitude: -122.6073        In this case, the coordinates for Persist have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
