A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Hydeville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Hydeville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 43.6056, Longitude: -73.2282       In this case, the coordinates for Hydeville have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
