  • 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 center of Goliath Berg (Goliath Mountain) in Bigi Poika, Para, Suriname. Used the reference map and Google Maps - Earth and Terrain Views to locate Goliath Berg. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of 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 mountain (using visual evidence to determine). Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (5930.0 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).
