  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Could not locate any places or features named "Fazenda Dandara" or "rio da Cachoeira" in the particular region specified using paper maps or online gazetteers; however, found Lat/Long coordinates for the "Fazenda Zumbi dos Palmares" (-14.0311 -39.1753) from several other records already in the NY database (NY site IRN: 725188, among others). This site locality states that the Fazenda Dandara is located approximately 6 km from the center of the Fazenda Zumbi dos Palmares, and although a direction is not specified, it can be reasoned that it must mean 6 km W from Fazenda Zumbi dos Palmares because that is the only direction that leads towards the "Rio Orojo", which the site description states is near to the Fazenda Dandara. Only one settled area (which also happens to be located right near the Rio Orojo) could be found at approximately 6 km along the road or directly W towards the Rio Orojo from the coordinates given for the Fazenda Zumbi dos Palmares, so that settlement was determined to be the "Fazenda Dandara". Therefore, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the "Fazenda Dandara", in Mun. Camamu, Bahia. Using Canadensys Lat/Long crosshairs, found coordinates (final) for the approximate geographic center of the settled area of "Fazenda Dandara", referencing the imagery from Google Maps - Satellite View. Because the boundaries of the "Fazenda Dandara" are not clearly defined, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to estimate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates at the approximate center of "Fazenda Dandara" to the center of nearest named place, the "Fazenda Zumbi dos Palmares" (-14.0311 -39.1753), then dividing that distance by 2. Input coordinates, linear extent (1931.49 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named place: Undefined area).
