  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Could not locate "Fazenda Subaúna" and no side-road appears to branch off to the left or right from the road linking Cairu to Nilo Peçanha (BA 884) at approximately 4 km road distance from Cairu. However, it can be reasonably deduced that the collection must have been made somewhere on the same island as Cairu, since only the one main road appears to cross the rivers that isolate it from the surrounding lands, and that bridge lies much farther from Cairu than the total travel distance described in the locality. Therefore, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the island (seemingly unnamed) on which the town of Cairu situates, in Mun. Cairu, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, found the boundaries for and visualized the center of the island. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates for the approximate geographic center of the island. Using Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps), found the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates near the center of the island to the farthest extent of the island. Input coordinates, linear extent (6201.86 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: defined area).
