Footnotes ...
<1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Walnut Acres) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Walnut Acres. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.9767, Longitude: -86.8981 In this case, the coordinates for Walnut Acres have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |

<3> | An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates. That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace. |
