• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic center of Rio Juruá-Mirim within Santo Antônio in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre. Using Google Maps, located Rio Juruá-Mirim in Santo Antônio. Using visual evidence, approximated the geographic center Rio Juruá-Mirim within Santo Antônio. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates, on the north shore toward the location of the community. Since the community does not have defined spatial boundaries, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure from the selected coordinates to the center of the nearest named place, São Luís; halved this extent to find the linear extent of Santo Antônio. Input coordinates, linear extent (1895.04 m.), and measurement error (.01 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
