  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic center of the shoreline of the city of Cândido Mendes along Rio Maracaçumê (synonymous with Rio Maracassumé). Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Cândido Mendes along Rio Maracaçumê in Maranhão, Brazil. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the geographic center of the shoreline of the city along Rio Maracaçumê. Because Cândido Mendes does not have defined spatial boundaries, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place along the river, the city of Maracaçumê; halved this distance to approximate the linear extent of the city of Cândido Mendes. Input coordinates, linear extent (35616.3 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
