  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Furo do Outeiro in Mun. Prainha, Pará. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Furo do Outeiro. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate beginning of the stream (confluence of Furo do Outeiro and Rio Mulato, nearby Rio Amazonas) to the end of the stream (approximated), then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Furo do Outeiro nearest to the midpoint of the line; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate midpoint of the stream. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Furo do Outeiro. Input coordinates, linear extent (19960.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick References Guide, Named Place: River, stream, road, path).
