  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unsure of the location of the road stated in the locality description, multiple roads lead to/from Porto Novo in different directions and "acampamento" not defined. Instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Porto Novo in Mun. Belterra, Pará. Referred to Geonames.org for location information for Porto Novo (http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_-2.623_-54.978.html, accessed: 11/13/2014). Used the reference map and Google Maps - Earth View to find Porto Novo, along Rio Tapajós. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of Porto Novo. Because the area of Porto Novo does not have defined boundaries on Google Maps, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place along Rio Tapajós, Pindobal, then halved this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (2710.0 m), and measurement error (2.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
