  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of "Palmares;" instead georeferenced to the geographic center of município São Paulo de Olivença. Using Google Maps, located São Paulo de Olivença in Amazonas, BR. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure total extent of the município; halved this distance to approximate the location of the geographic center of São Paulo de Olivença. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the município. Used linear extent as the uncertainty radius.
