  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Could not locate the precise location of "trilha da Papeba"; therefore, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of "Serra Bonita", in Mun. Camacan, Bahia. Using a paper map of the area (Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste. "Itaju do Colônia " [Map]. Mapas da Região Nordeste do Brasil – 1:100,000. Convênio SUDENE – Governo do Estado da Bahia. SUDENE, Recife, PE, Brasil. 1977) located "Serra Bonita". Using Google Maps - Terrain View, and referencing the topographic lines shown on the paper map, identified the same the cluster of mountains called "Serra Bonita" in the paper map. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates (final) for the approximate geographic center of this cluster of peaks (exactly where the name "Serra Bonita" appears on the paper map). Because precisely defined boundaries for Serra Bonita could not be found, linear extent was estimated by using Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure the distance from the selected coordinates at the approximate geographic center of Serra Bonita to the nearest named place of a similar type, the nearby range of "Serra Talhada" (-15.3028545 -39.5779896; located using the same procedure referencing the same paper map), and dividing that distance by 2. Input coordinates, linear extent (4424.505 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named place: Undefined area).
