  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Interpreted "abaixo" (below) to mean downstream from, and treated this locality as an offset with direction only provided. Georeferenced to the midpoint along Rio Negro between Santa Isabel do Rio Negro (formerly named/synonymous with Tapuruquara) and Laranjal in Mun. Santa Isabel do Rio Negro, Amazonas. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the city of Santa Isabel do Rio Negro and the nearest named place downstream (toward the mouth of Rio Negro) on the same side of Rio Negro, Laranjal. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of the shoreline of Santa Isabel do Rio Negro and the approximate geographic center of the shoreline of Laranjal, then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Rio Negro nearest to the midpoint of this line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic midpoint along Rio Negro between the cities, along the adjacent northern shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of this segment of river. Input coordinates, linear extent (1118.0 m), and measurement error (25 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Between two Places).
