A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- New Baltimore) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in New Baltimore. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.7673, Longitude: -77.7283 In this case, the coordinates for New Baltimore have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
