Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Lynn Grove) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Lynn Grove. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 37.5871, Longitude: -77.4019       In this case, the coordinates for Lynn Grove have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
