A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Five Points) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Five Points. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.2440, Longitude: -76.3294 In this case, the coordinates for Five Points have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
