  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of "Igarapé Munenin;" instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic midpoint of Rio Paru do Oeste within the region of Tiróis in Mun. Oriximiná, Pará. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the location where Rio Paru do Oeste meets the approximate geographic center of the region of Tiróis. Because Tiróis does not have defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent of the river within the region by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place along Rio Paru do Oeste, Maloca Velha, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (5085.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
