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 from Point A (ie- Center Village) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Center Village. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 40.9211, Longitude: -111.8855       In this case, the coordinates for Center Village have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
