  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find precise location of "Jacurapá;" georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Iça within Amazonas, BR. Using Google Maps, located Rio Iça, a tributary of Rio Solimões in Santo Antônio of Iça, Amazonas. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line starting at the mouth of Rio Iça (meeting of Rio Iça and Rio Solimões) to the farthest extent of Rio Iça within the Brazilian border, since Rio Iça extends into Colombia; halved this distance to approximate the location of the midpoint of Rio Iça. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the midpoint. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Rio Iça within Brazil, 96777.2 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
