A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Clear Creek) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Clear Creek. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.9368, Longitude: -82.5904 In this case, the coordinates for Clear Creek have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
