Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Kendrick) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Kendrick. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 44.7208, Longitude: -106.2020 In this case, the coordinates for Kendrick have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |

However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now.
