Georeferencing Method
Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to an offset of 65 miles North (along I-35, which becomes route 61) from Duluth, Saint Louis County, Minnesota (Note: georeferencing to an offset heading of north would lead away from Lake Superior, which is where the specimen was collected). Used Google Maps - Earth/Map Views to find the approximate geographic center of Duluth, MN (at: 46.772674, -92.113326). Used Google Maps – Earth/Map Views to find the nearest main road from the approximate geographic center of Duluth that follows the northern shore of Lake Superior (I-35, which becomes route 61). Used Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to measure approximately 65 miles along the route from Duluth (at: 47.396297, -91.134036) . Used Google Maps – Earth/Map Views to find the nearest point along the shore of Lake Superior (at: 47.394499, -91.130929). Used Google Maps – Measure Distance tool to find the farthest extent of Duluth (18.91km). Input coordinate source (locality description), coordinates, datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (18910 m), distance precision (10 m) and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset along a path).
