Georeferencing Method
Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to "Mapas da Rede Ferroviária Federal - RFFSA - 1965: Estrada de Ferro São Luís – Teresina" for locality information for Estrada do Ferro in São Luíz in Maranhão (http://vfco.brazilia.jor.br/ferrovias/mapas/1965-RFFSA/1965-Estrada-de-Ferro-Sao-Luis-Teresina.gif, accessed: 1/15/2015). Used the reference map and Google Maps - Map and Earth Views to locate the railroad line, E.F. São Luís - Teresina. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate location of the São Luís station of the railroad. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure from the selected coordinates to the approximate location of the nearest named railroad station, Araracanga, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (3315.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
