  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Iaco within Município Sena Madureira, taking into account the added uncertainty of 4 km from the river without a defined direction provided. Using Google Maps - Earth View, located Rio Iaco, a tributary of Rio Purus. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the beginning and end of Rio Iaco within Município Sena Madureira, then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Rio Iaco nearest to the midpoint of the line; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Rio Iaco within the município. Input coordinates, linear extent (95900.0 km), and measurement error (50 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius. Added 4 km to the uncertainty radius to account for the added uncertainty of the offset without a defined direction provided.
