Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Cane Ridge) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Cane Ridge. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.0229, Longitude: -86.6442 In this case, the coordinates for Cane Ridge have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
