  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Could not locate either Fazenda mentioned in the locality description in the particular region specified using paper maps or online gazetteers; however, found Lat/Long coordinates for the Fazenda Zumbi dos Palmares from several other records already in the NY database (NY site IRN: 725188, among others). Therefore, georeferenced to the approximate midpoint of the entrance road that leads to the Fazenda Zumbi dos Palmares, in Mun. Camamú, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Text Search, located the Fazenda Zumbi dos Palmares using the Lat/Long coordinates (-14.0311 -39.1753) provided in another record in the Emu Database (NY site IRN: 725188) that has the locality string: "Bahia, Camamu, Rod. BA 650 Camamú/Travessão. Faz. Zumbi dos palmares. Cascalheira". Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the short sequence of unnamed side-roads which connects the Fazenda Zumbi dos palmares to the nearby highway, BA 652 ("Rod. Camamú/Travessao"). Beginning at the coordinates given for the Fazenda Zumbi dos palmares, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure along the before-mentioned short sequence of unnamed side-roads to the approximate geographic midpoint of the intersection with BA 652 (-14.024909 -39.1857272), then divided that distance by 2, and measured that calculated distance along the same sequence of roads to approximate the location of the midpoint of the route to the Fazenda Zumbi dos Palmares from the highway. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates (final) for this position along the unnamed side-roads. Using Distance Measurement Tool again, found the linear extent by measuring a straight line from the selected final coordinates near the midpoint of the route to the farthest extent of the route in any direction (-14.024909 -39.1857272). Input coordinates, linear extent (1126.94 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: River, stream, road, path).
