  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. The Serra dos Orgãos mountain range was turned into a national park, Parque Nacional da Serra dos Orgãos, in 1939. Georeferenced to an elevation of 1150 m nearest to the approximate geographic center of the Serra dos Orgãos mountain range, spanning municípios Petrópolis, Guapimirim, and Mage in Rio de Janeiro. Used the reference material and Google Maps – Earth and Terrain Views to locate the national park, spanning approximately from the cities of Piabetá to Teresopolis. Located the approximate geographic center of Serra dos Orgãos, using visual evidence from the Terrain View and Map View (Parque Nacional da Serra dos Orgãos polygon) to determine. Used the Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates at elevation 1150 m nearest to the approximate geographic center of the mountain. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of 1150 m elevation contour line of the mountain. Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (12060 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).
