<1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Laurel Cove) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Laurel Cove. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.7340, Longitude: -85.5111 In this case, the coordinates for Laurel Cove have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
