A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Indian Meadows) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Indian Meadows. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.4223, Longitude: -82.2451 In this case, the coordinates for Indian Meadows have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
