  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of "Fazenda Gurupatuba;" instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Camara in Ilha de Marajó, Pará. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Rio Camara, a tributary of Rio Tocantins. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line starting at the mouth of the river (confluence of Rio Camara and Rio Tocantins, at Marajó Bay) to the source of the river (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to approximate the location of the geographic midpoint of Rio Camara, along the adjacent southern shore. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate midpoint of Rio Camara. Input coordinates, linear extent (11955.4 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
