| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance.  A straight line distance ignores  obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line  drawn from Point A (ie- Laurel) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Laurel.  The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.9607, Longitude: -79.9887        In this case, the coordinates for Laurel have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
