  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 6.5 km (average of 3 km and 10 km) along the unnamed side-road which branches off from BA-542 ("Estrada Valença/BR-101") approximately 3 km from Valença, and leads to the village of Orobó, in Mun. Valença, Bahia. Using a paper map of the area (Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste. "Valença" [Map]. Mapas da Região Nordeste do Brasil – 1:100,000. Convênio SUDENE – Governo do Estado da Bahia. SUDENE, Recife, PE, Brasil. 1977) located the village of Orobó, noting its position along an unnamed road heading WSW from BA-542. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located that same unnamed road leading to Orobó (from now on referred to as: "the road to Orobó"). Beginning at the center of intersection between "the road to Orobó" and BA-542 (-13.3613827 -39.1046789), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 6.5 km (6.50008 km) along "the road to Orobó" towards the village of Orobó. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates for the offset. Using Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again, found the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the intersection of BA-542 and "the road to Orobó", by measuring from the selected coordinates at the center of the intersection to the farthest extent of the intersection. Input coordinates, linear extent (0.0973488 km), measurement error (0.0005 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: offset along a path). Note: an additional 3500 m was added to the uncertainty output from the MaNIS calculator to account for the 3.5 km difference between the distance ranges provided on the label and the average distance used for measuring the offset.
