  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the location where Rio Iça branches off from Rio Solimões (on the adjacent land at the confluence of the waterways). Using Google Maps, located Rio Iça, a tributary of Rio Solimões in Santo Antônio of Iça, Amazonas. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the adjacent land closest to the geographic center of the mouth of Rio Iça (meeting of Rio Iça and Rio Solimões). Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the confluence. Input coordinates, linear extent (2011.04 m.), and measurement error (.01 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).
