Primm is about 10 nauticle miles north of the northern edge of Edwards High Altitude Supersonic Corridor. That's close enough i think if Wikepedia is correct: "
Ground width of the boom exposure area is approximately 1 statute mile (1.6 km) for each 1,000 feet (300 m) of altitude (5 m/m); that is, an aircraft flying supersonic at 30,000 feet (9,100 m) will create a lateral boom spread of about 30 miles (48 km), or at 10,000 meters a spread of 50 kilometers"
