  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the Reserva da Vale do Rio Doce (name simplified in this locality description), in Mun. Linhares, Espírito Santo. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, and referencing an image of the boundaries of the reserve found online (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2tuD76V4Vgg/UE8yk6xDTZI/AAAAAAAAIYo/dwwfszGJl5M/s1600/Map.jpg) found the Reserva da Vale do Rio Doce. Using Google Maps - What's Here tool, found coordinates (final) for a point within the reserve closest to the approximate geographic center of the reserve (estimated also referencing the boundaries of the park shown in the cited image). Because the boundaries of the Reserva da Vale do Rio Doce are clearly defined, used Google Maps - Measure Distance tool to find linear extent by measuring from the selected final coordinates near the approximate geographic center of the reserve to the farthest extent of the reserve (-19.253723, -40.000770). Input linear extent (13502.0 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined area).
