| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance.  A straight line distance ignores  things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line  drawn from Point A (ie- Short) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Short.  The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 37.1162, Longitude: -82.5768        In this case, the coordinates for Short have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
