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- Corry) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Corry. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.9181, Longitude: -79.6431 In this case, the coordinates for Corry have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
