Georeferencing Method
Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Geonames.org (http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_47.879_-90.html) for locality information for Hovland Watch Tower. Also label came with TRS coordinates (TRS conversion: 47.87401, -89.9971) but were not coordinates of the features in the label. Georeferenced to an offset of 1.5 miles west from road (determined to be Route 16) to McFarland Lake on road to Hovland watch tower, Cook county, Minnesota. Used Google Maps – Earth/Map Views to locate McFarland Lake and Hovland Watch Tower, Cook County, MN. Used Google Maps – Earth Map Views to locate Route 16. Used Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to measure approximately 1.5 mi west of Route 16 on road to Hovland Watch Tower. Used Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the offset on the road. Used Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent (13.78 m) of the starting location off Route 16 by measuring from approximate geographical center of the intersection to the farthest extent of the intersection. Input coordinate source (locality description), coordinates, datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (13.78 m), distance precision (1m) 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).
