Georeferencing Method

Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic center of the stream Igarapé Belem in Amazonas. Referred to "Traveling Luck" website for location information for Igarapé Belem (http://travelingluck.com/South%20America/Brazil/Amazonas/_3827713_Igarap%C3%A9%20de%20Bel%C3%A9m.html). Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Igarapé Belem, a tributary of Rio Solimões. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line starting at the mouth of Igarapé Belem (confluence of Igarapé Belem and Rio Solimões) to the farthest extent of the stream (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to approximate the location of the midpoint of Igarapé Belem. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the geographic midpoint of the stream, along the adjacent shore. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Igarapé Belem, 32088.4 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
