| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a '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- Mendota) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Mendota.  The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.6156, Longitude: -80.9123        In this case, the coordinates for Mendota have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
