Footnotes ...

A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Concord Heights) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Concord Heights. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.0206, Longitude: -85.1708       In this case, the coordinates for Concord Heights have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
