A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Holly Hill) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Holly Hill. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 34.8537, Longitude: -82.6060 In this case, the coordinates for Holly Hill have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
