  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 18 km. north of the mouth of Rio Tarumã (junction with Rio Negro). Using Google Maps, located the confluence of Rio Tarumã and Rio Negro. Used measurement tool to measure approximately 18 km. (18.0014 km.) north along Rio Tarumã. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates, along the land adjacent to the river (floodplain). Used measurement tool (Google Maps) again to measure the linear extent of the mouth. Input coordinates, linear extent (1427.63 m.), measurement error (.01 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find uncertainty radius.
