  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Offset location is vague because the locality description does not provide offset distance, only direction. Georeferenced to the midpoint between the city of Benjamin Constant and the nearest named place south of the city, the city of Eirunepé, in Amazonas. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the geographic center of the city of Benjamin Constant. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure from the geographic center of Benjamin Constant to geographic center of the nearest named place south of the city, the city of Eirunepé, then halved this distance to approximate the location of the midpoint. Measured to approximately this calculated distance from the geographic center of Benjamin Constant toward the center of the segment between the cities; used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the midpoint. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the segment between the cities, 126189.0 m), and measurement error (.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset only, no distance).
