    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. No road section formally called BA-265 exists at present within the Municipality of Una, in the state of Bahia. Through personal communication with the collector, Scott Mori (NYBG), the present day identity of the road described in this locality description as BA-265 was established to be a section of road now called BA-676 which runs from Rio Branco to Colonia Do Una, and continues on to the present municipality seat of Una. Given this understanding, two possible routes can be shown to link BA-676 (old name: BA-265) to BR-101 (near São José), one entirely following BA-669, and one following BA-664 and then BA-669. Fortunately, the intersection between BA-699 and BA-664--which is located almost exactly 20 km NW (straight) from Colonia do Una--appears to be very same one referenced in the second part of the locality description, and of the two options only BA-664 extends from this intersection in the SW direction. Therefore, georeferenced to 8km SW along dirt road BA-664 from its junction with BA-669, in Mun. Una, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located BA-669 and BA-664. Beginning at the approximate geographic center of the intersection between BA-669 and BA-664 (-15.1414889 -39.2543355), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 8 km (8000.02 m) along BA-664 in the SW direction (towards BA-676). Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find coordinates for the offset. Used distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to determine the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the intersection of BA-669 and BA-664, by measuring from the starting coordinates near the center of the intersection to the farthest extent of the intersection. Input coordinates, linear extent (23.1369 m), measurement error (0.0001 m), and distance precision (100 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
