Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Mount Union) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Mount Union. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.5365, Longitude: -85.1063 In this case, the coordinates for Mount Union have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
