  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Because no other place formally called "Tororomba" could be found in this region, assumed that "Estaçao Hidromineral da Tororomba" is refering to the Tororomba Resort, near the town of Olivença, just south of the city of Ilhéus. Also, could not locate the specified "Estaçao Hidromineral" within the Tororomba resort area; therefore georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the Tororomba Resort, in Mun. Ilhéus, Bahia. Used Google Maps - Search Engine and Satellite view to locate the approximate geographic center of the Tororomba Resort (Location verified using Wikimapia), and used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates. Becaused spatial boundaries for the Tororomba resort could not be found with certaintly, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to approximate geographic center of the nearest named place, the Cana Brava Resort Hotel (adjacent to Tototomba along the road), and dividing that distance by two. Input coordinates, linear extent (319.188 m), and measurement error (0.001 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Undefined Area).
