  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to locate "main house of Fazenda Santa Rita on trail to Fazenda Trabalhosa;" georeferenced according to "25 km south of Lorêto." Using Google Maps, located the two rivers in locality description, Rio Balsa and Rio Parnaíba within Lorêto. Located city of Lorêto. Used measurement tool to measure total extent of Lorêto, then approximated geographic center of the city. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find coordinates. Input coordinates, offset distance (25000 m.), offset direction (S), linear extent of Lorêto (2899.75 m.), measurement error (.01 m.) and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find offset coordinates and uncertainty radius. Made sure offset coordinates were between the two rivers, according to locality description.
