  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the city of Brownsweg, Brokopondo, taking into account the added uncertainty of the word "near" in the locality description. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the city of Brownsweg. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Because the center of the nearest named place, Rosebel, is farther from the center of the Brownsweg than the linear extent of Brownsweg itself, followed Case A of Near a Named Place from the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place, Rosebel, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (3695.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Near a Named Place).
