  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the location of the mouth of Rio Juruá-Mirim, where Rio Juruá-Mirim branches off from Rio Juruá (on the adjacent land at the confluence of the waterways). Using Google Maps, located Rio Juruá-Mirim, a tributary of Rio Juruá in Acre, BR. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the adjacent land closest to the geographic center of the mouth of Rio Juruá-Mirim. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the confluence. Input coordinates, linear extent (122.931 m.), and measurement error (.001 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Mouth or headwaters of a river, confluence of waterways, trailhead).
