Nearest Communities to Miners Delight,
Listed County-By-County
The purpose of this page is to identify those communities that are closest to Miners Delight, on a County-by-County basis. To explain further, let's use the example from the Genealogy Helper Page for Miners Delight:
We have great-grandparents who lived in a small community in the northwest corner of their home county. During their lives, most doctors were in the next county to the west. Almost all of the nearby churches and cemeteries were in the county to the north.
When doing our research, we make it a practice to expand our search by looking in neighboring counties in addition to the county in which they lived: their home county contained property and probate records; the county to the west contained birth and death records; the county to the north contained their burial records. If we hadn't checked the neighboring counties, we would have missed many valuable sources of information.
Keep in mind that when we give a distance, it's a 'straight-line' distance from Miners Delight.<1>

A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Miners Delight) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Miners Delight. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.5332, Longitude: -108.6808 In this case, the coordinates for Miners Delight have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |

Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Miners Delight might be written as Miner Delight. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Miners Delight. |
| <3> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. 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. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Miners Delight, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
| <4> | Our data comes from many sources and some sources are more dependable than others. When we add communities to our Gazetteer, we try to verify that we have the correct location for the community. We mark a community as 'Unverified' when we aren't confident about our data and want to do further checking. We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Since our Gazetteer contains over 100,000 communities, verifying everything is going to take time. If you find an error or can help us to improve our accuracy, please let us know. |
