Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Because the precise location of Fazenda Barra do Manguinho could not be determined; Georeferenced to 3 km along an unnamed side-road from the intersection of where it branches off from BA-001 (to the right) approximately 12 km from the neighborhood of Pontal on its way to the town of Olivença, Mun. Ilhéus, Bahia. Used Google Maps - Satellite View, and Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to locate the specified unnamed side-road. Beginning at the center of the intersection of BA-001 and the unnamed side-road (-14.9187622 -39.0210664), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 3 km (3000.19 m) along the unnamed road in the direction of several visible palm plantations (c.f. Piaçava). Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the offset (along with the geographic center of the intersection mentioned above). Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the intersection of BA-001 and the specified unnamed side-road, by measuring the maximum width of the intersection and dividing it by 2. Input coordinates, linear extent (0.01296805 km), measurement error (0.0005 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset along a path).)
