Footnotes ...
<1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Lovely) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Lovely. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 40.2095, Longitude: -78.6050 In this case, the coordinates for Lovely have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
