  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to peakery.com for additional location information for Goliath Mountain (http://peakery.com/goliath-berg-suriname/, accessed: 6/2/2015). Georeferenced to the approximate geographic midpoint between the approximate geographic center of Goliath Berg (Goliath Mountain) and the Saramacca River in Bigi Poika, Para, Suriname. Used the reference map and Google Maps - Earth and Terrain Views to locate Goliath Berg and the Saramacca River. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of the mountain directly east to the river (at village Loksi-ati), then halved this distance to find the geographic midpoint between the two entities. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic midpoint. Used the halved distance as the linear extent for this locality. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (8790.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Between two Places).
