• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location because offset described in time (hours) not distance; georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Pracuúba-Miri in município São Sebastião da Boa Vista, Ilha do Marajó. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Pracuúba-Miri, a tributary of Furo Boa Vista. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line between the mouth of the river (the confluence of Rio Pracuúba-Miri and Furo Boa Vista) to the approximate source of the Rio Pracuúba-Miri (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to approximate the location of the midpoint of the river. Measured to approximately this calculated distance from one extreme of the river toward the center; used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the adjacent shore of the midpoint of the river. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the river, 12610.6 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
