  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the midpoint of Rio Cuieiras between the mouths of Igarapé Tucunaré and Lago Jaradá. Referred to Geody website (http://www.geody.com/geospot.php?world=terra&ufi=77159&alc=grp) for precise location of Igarapé Tucunaré, along Rio Cuieiras. Using Google Maps, located the mouths of Igarapé Tucunaré and Lago Jaradá, both bodies of water along Rio Cuieiras in Amazon, BR. Used distance measurement tool to measure a straight line starting at the mouth of Igarapé Tucunaré to the geographic center of Lago Jaradá; halved this extent to approximate the location of the midpoint of this segment. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the midpoint, on land adjacent to the river. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the segment, 7431.00 m.), and measurement error (.01 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
