  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to "Linha de Angra dos Reis a Goiandira" (http://vfco.brazilia.jor.br/estacoes-ferroviarias/1960-sudeste-RMV/linha-Angra-dos-Reis-Goiandira.shtml?q=TrilhosCGT/RMV/AngraGoiandira.htm; accessed: 10/28/2015), Estações Ferroviárias do Brasil (http://www.estacoesferroviarias.com.br/rmv_tronco/jussaral.htm; accessed: 10/28/2015), and Wikimapia.org (http://wikimapia.org/20868830/pt/Estação-ferroviária-de-Jussaral and http://wikimapia.org/20868885/pt/Estação-ferroviária-Alto-da-Serra; accessed: 10/28/2015) for locality information for the railroad stations of Jussaral and Alto da Serra. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic midpoint of the railroad stations of Jussaral and Alto da Serra (assumed to be synonymous with Serra do Mar) in Mun. Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro. Used the reference material and Google Maps – Map and Earth Views to locate the approximate locations of the stations. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the Jussaral station (at: -22.940637, -44.274077) to the Serra do Alto station (at: -22.880209, -44.233011), then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along the railroad nearest to the midpoint of the line; used the Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate midpoint of the railroad between these stations. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of this segment of railroad. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), coordinate source (linear extent), datum (WGS84), linear extent (4080 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: River, stream, road, path).
