Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the town of Acarai, in Mun. Camamu, Bahia. Using a paper map of the area (Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste. "Itubera" [Map]. Mapas da Região Nordeste do Brasil – 1:100,000. Convênio SUDENE – Governo do Estado da Bahia. SUDENE, Recife, PE, Brasil. 1977) located the town of Acarai, noting its position along bank of the Rio Acarai, 1 km north of a major bend in the road. Using Google Maps (Satellite View) again located the town of Acarai referencing the terrain features seen on the paper map. Note: Google Maps provides a different location for "Acarai" much closer to the town of Camamu; the position shown on the paper map was given priority because that map was printed in 1975, and is more likely to resemble the maps used by the collector in 1967 when this collection was made. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates for the approximate geographic center of Acarai. Because the town of Acarai does not have defined spatial boundaries, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to estimate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate center of the nearest named place, the town of Camamu, then halved that distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (2045.57 m), and measurement error (0.5 m), into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named place: Undefined area).)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 2047.64
