• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location since description provided in time (hours), not distance; georeferenced to the geographic center of the mouth of Rio Tiquié in Amazonas, BR. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Rio Tiquié, a tributary of the Vaupés River (synonymous with Rio Uaupés). Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the mouth of Rio Tiquié (where it branches from the Vaupés River), on the adjacent land. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find linear extent of the mouth by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the mouth. Input coordinates, linear extent (894.955 m.), and measurement error (.001 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Mouth or headwaters of a river, confluence of waterways, trailhead).
