  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to locate Cachoeira Alta; georeferenced to the geographic center of Igarapé do Tarumã in Tarumã, Manaus. Using Google Maps, located Igarapé do Tarumã. Used measurement tool to measure a straight line starting at the beginning of the stream (where it branches off of Rio Tarumã) to the end of the stream, then halved this extent to approximate the location of the midpoint of Igarapé do Tarumã. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the midpoint, on adjacent land. Input coordiantes, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the stream - 4933.63 m.), and measurement error (.01 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
