A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Country Place) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Country Place. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.7668, Longitude: -77.4942 In this case, the coordinates for Country Place have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
