A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Hunters Ridge) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Hunters Ridge. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.0378, Longitude: -86.9264 In this case, the coordinates for Hunters Ridge have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
