A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Hallbrook) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Hallbrook. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.0823, Longitude: -83.9194 In this case, the coordinates for Hallbrook have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
