  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of the parcel stated in the locality description; instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Marauiá in Mun. Santa Isabel do Rio Negro, Amazonas. Used the Google Maps - Earth View to locate Rio Marauiá, a tributary of Rio Negro. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the geographic center of the mouth of the river (confluence of Rio Marauiá and Rio Negro) to the headwaters of Rio Marauiá (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Rio Marauiá nearest to the midpoint of the line; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic midpoint of the river, on the adjacent 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 the river. Input coordinates, linear extent (86130.0 m), and measurement error (50 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
