| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Mason City) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Mason City. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 47.9513, Longitude: -118.9678 In this case, the coordinates for Mason City have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
