  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. There are a few small islands that likely once formed the "island" stated in the locality description; considered the islands to be one joint island. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the island opposite the city of Jaci Paraná in Rio Madeira. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the island opposite of Jaci Paraná in Rio Madeira. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the island (considering the few small islands as one island mass). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the island. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (2720.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).
