  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic center of the mouth of Rio Apuaú, a tributary of Rio Negro. Referred to "GeoNames" website (http://www.geonames.org/3665292/rio-apuau.html) and "Traveling Luck" website (http://travelingluck.com/South+America/Brazil/Amazonas/_3665292_Rio+Apua%C3%BA.html) for location information for Rio Apuaú. Using Google Maps, located mouth of Rio Apuaú in Amazonas, BR. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the mouth, on adjacent land. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the mouth of Rio Apuaú. Input coordinates, linear extent (383.840 m.) and measurement error (.001 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).
