  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Inferred "below" to mean "south of" in the locality description. Georeferenced to 15 km south of the geographic center of the city of Tarauacá in Mun. Tarauacá, Acre. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Tarauacá. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Because the city of Tarauacá does not have defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place, the city of Feijó, then halving this distance. Input coordinates (-8.1616238, -70.7659408), linear extent (22.87867 km), offset distance (15 km), offset direction (S), distance precision (1 km), and measurement error (.005 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates and the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading). Coordinates are located east of Rio Tarauacá, agreeing with the locality description.
