  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of the airport mentioned in the locality description; instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Município Chaves, Ilha de Marajó, Pará. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Mun. Chaves, which is comprised of seven islands north of Ilha de Marajó: Ilha Mexiana, Ilha Caviana de Fora, Ilha Caviana de Dentro, Ilha Januaçu, Ilha Jurupari, Ilha das Pacas, and Ilha Camaleão (island names provided by wikimapia.org, http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=0.109863&lon=-50.421753&z=9&m=b&search=ilha%20de%20marajo) and the northern portion of Ilha de Marajó. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the total extent of the area of the município, then halved this distance (to use for approximating the location of the geographic center). Measured to this calculated distance from one extreme of the município toward the center; used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates, located on Ilha Mexiana. Because Google Maps provides the boundaries of the município, used the linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Mun. Chaves) as the uncertainty radius.
