A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Hendersonville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Hendersonville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 32.7907, Longitude: -80.7254 In this case, the coordinates for Hendersonville have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |

However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now.
