Footnotes ...
| <1> | 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- San Geronimo) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in San Geronimo. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 29.6230, Longitude: -98.7939 In this case, the coordinates for San Geronimo have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |

However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now.
