Georeferencing Method

Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic midpoint of Rio Litani (synonymous with Litanie Rivier) in Tapanahony, Sipaliwini, Suriname. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Rio Litani, a tributary of Rio Lawa. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of the mouth of Rio Litani (confluence of Rio Litani, Rio Lawa, and Oelemari River) and the headwaters of Rio Litani (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to find midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Rio Litani nearest to the midpoint of the line; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic midpoint of the river, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the river. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (54650.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
