Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Referred to "Environmental impacts of bauxite and gold mining in Nassau Mountains, Suriname" (2009) (Mol, J.H. Environmental impacts of bauxite and gold mining in Nassau Mountains, Suriname. 2009. pg. 1. http://www.atbc2008.org/data/File/Articles/NassauSummary.pdf, accessed: 6/1/2015) and Peakbagger.com for location information for Mount Nassau (http://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=8704, accessed: 6/1/2015). Unsure of the precise location described in the locality description; instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Mount Nassau in Sipaliwini District, Suriname. Used the reference material and Google Maps - Earth and Terrain View to find the Nassau Mountain range, located next to Maroni River. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the mountain range. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the mountain range (using visual evidence to approximate). Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (14580.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 14586.6
