  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Mapiri in Prov. Larecaja, La Paz Department, taking into account the added uncertainty caused by the word "vicinity" in the locality description. Used the Google Maps - Earth View to locate the area of Mapiri. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of Mapiri. Used Google Earth to locate the nearest named place to Mapiri, San José. Because the nearest named place is farther from the center of Mapiri than the linear extent of Mapiri itself, followed the Case A method of "Near a Named Place" of the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of San José and then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (2125.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Near a Named Place).
