  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unsure of the precise location of "Hill no. 1;" instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Tafelberg Mountain (Table Mountain) in Boven Coppename, Sipaliwini, Suriname. Referred to other locality descriptions with coordinates and Google Maps - Earth and Terrain Views to locate Tafelberg Mountain. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the approximate geographic center of the mountain. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the mountainous area (using visual evidence to determine). Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (6780.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).
