A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Teaberry) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Teaberry. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 37.7707, Longitude: -80.4404       In this case, the coordinates for Teaberry have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
