  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Difficult to discern the location of west bank of Rio Purus because of the meandering of the river; instead georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the shore "opposite," or across Rio Purus from, the city of Lábrea; ensuring that the uncertainty radius extends to encompass the farthest extent of Rio Purus within município Lábrea. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the shoreline of the city of Lábrea along Rio Purus. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the land opposite from the approximate geographic center of the shore of the city. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Rio Purus within município Lábrea. Used linear extent as the uncertainty radius.
