• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. The locality description simply suggests that this collection was made somewhere between Itabuna and Uruçuca, therefore georeferenced to the approximate geographic midpoint between the city of Itabuna and the city of Uruçuca, in Mun. Uruçuca, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, found the location of Uruçuca and Itabuna. Beginning at the approximate geographic center of Uruçuca (-14.5896887 -39.2849207), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line to the approximate geographic center of Itabuna (-14.7913119 -39.2831558), then halved that distance to estimate the approximate geographic midpoint between the two cities, and to find the linear extent. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates for the midpoint. Input coordinates, linear extent (11,222.55 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Between two places).
