  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Difficult to determine the precise stream stated in the locality description because there are two streams located immediately north of the village of Canumã; instead, georeferenced to the area north of the village of Canumã, the midpoint between Canumã and the nearest named place north of Canumã. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the village of Canumã in Mun. Borba, Amazonas. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of Canumã to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place situated north of Canumã (in this case, north northwest), the village of Foz do Canumã, then halved this distance to find the midpoint of this line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the area located at the midpoint of this line. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farther of the villages. Input coordinates, linear extent (2710.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Direction only, no distance).
