Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Atwell. The point that we are using is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 37.3493, Longitude: -81.7626 [Map]. In this case, the coordinates for Atwell have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). - Return to Citation

Smaller communities usually don't participate directly in the Census and therefore they won't be included. While our count is a close approximation, it shouldn't be considered as a complete or accurate count. - Return to Citation
