  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. The headwaters of a river are the source of a river or, in other words, the furthest place of a river from its confluence with another river/estuary. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the headwaters of Rio Mapuéra by tracing from the mouth of the river (where Rio Mapuéra branches from Rio Trombetas) to the farthest extent of the river (approximated through the dense forest cover). Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate location of the headwaters (beginning) of the river. Used 10 m. as the linear extent of the headwaters, according to directions from Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide. Input coordinates, linear extent (10 m.) and measurement error (10 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).
