• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the point 1 km south of 16 km along BA 367 (the road connecting the city of Porto Seguro to the city of Eunapolis) in Mun. Porto Seguro, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, and a paper map of the area (Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste. "Porto Seguro" [Map]. Mapas da Região Nordeste do Brasil – 1:100,000. Convênio SUDENE – Governo do Estado da Bahia. SUDENE, Recife, PE, Brasil. 1977) located the city of Porto Seguro, the city of Eunapolis, and BR 367, and selected the point along BR 367 closest to the approximate geographic center of the city of Porto Seguro according to the boundaries shown on the paper map (-16.4420124 -39.0631771), which are more likely to accurately portray the center and span of the named place at the time of collection, in 1971. Beginning at this chosen point, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 16 km (16.0001 km) along BR-367 towards Eunapolis. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found preliminary coordinates for the offset. Using Distance Measurement Tool again, found the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the city of Porto Seguro, by measuring from the selected starting coordinates along BR-367 near the historic center of the city to the farthest extent of the historic city limits along BA 001 towards Eunapolis. Input linear extent (0.53388 km), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), distance precision (1 km) and measurement error (0.0005 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the preliminary uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset along a path). Next, to calculate the 1 km S offset from the initial offset point along the road, input preliminary offset coordinates (-16.396112, -39.185433), linear extent (i.e. preliminary uncertainty = 1.036 km), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), direction (S), distance (1 km), distance precision (1 km), and measurement error (0.0005 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the final coordinates and uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
