• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 5 km southeast of the approximate geographic center of the city of Clevelândia do Norte in Mun. Oiapoque, Amapa. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Clevelândia do Norte. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Because Clevelândia do Norte does not have defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the geographic center of the nearest named place, the city of Oiapoque, and halving this distance. To find the 5 km offset, input coordinates (3.7836393, -51.8304486), linear extent (2276.815 m), offset distance (5 km), offset direction (SE), measurement error (.0005 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates and the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
