  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic midpoint of Rio Trombetas between the site of Cachoeira Travá and the mouth of Rio Cachorro. Referred to Gazetteering.com website for location information for Cachoeira Travá (http://www.gazetteering.com/south-america/brazil/estado-do-para/3386119-cachoeira-do-trava.html) and referred to map "Mapa das bacias do Trombetas e do Mapuera, no noroeste do Pará" provided by article "Notas sobre o antigo povoamento indígena do alto Trombetas e Mapuera" by Antonio Porro for location information of Rio Cachorro (Porro, Antonio. "Notes on the ancient indian settlements of the upper Trombetas and Mapuera rivers, Pará, Brazil." Bol. Mus. Para. Emilio Goeldi Cienc. Hum., Dec. 2008, vol.3, no.3, p.387-397. ISSN 1981-8122 accessed 31 October 2013). Using the reference material and Google Maps - Satellite View, located the mouth of Rio Cachorro, a tributary of Rio Trombetas, and waterfall Cachoeira Travá along Rio Trombetas in Oriximiná, Pará. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line beginning at the geographic center of the mouth of Rio Cachorro to the approximate geographic center of the waterfall Cachoeira Travá; halved this distance to approximate the location of the midpoint. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates, on the adjacent western shore of Rio Trombetas. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the river segment, 2999.86 m.), and measurement error (.01 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
