<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- Chinati) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Chinati. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 29.8241, Longitude: -104.6058 In this case, the coordinates for Chinati have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
