| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Webbs Mill) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Webbs Mill. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.7363, Longitude: -77.6950 In this case, the coordinates for Webbs Mill have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
