• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise extent of the complete area (municipio?) of Mapiri; Google Maps only provides the extent of the city. Georeferenced this locality according to the "Named Place: Undefined Area" method of the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, as to avoid calculating an artificially low uncertainty radius. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Mapiri in Prov. Larecaja, La Paz Department. Used the Google Maps - Earth View to locate the area of Mapiri. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of Mapiri. Used Google Earth to locate the nearest named place to Mapiri, San José, then used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the approximate linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of San José and halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (2125.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
