  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to "Carta do Brasil ao Milionésimo, Fôlha IÇÁ SA-19" [map] for location information for Igarapé Preto (Carta do Brasil ao Milionésimo, Fôlha IÇÁ SA-19 [map]. 1:1,000,000. In: Faissol, Speridião et. al. Carta Internacional do Mundo ao Milionésimo. 2nd edition. Rio de Janeiro: Instituto brasileiro de geografia e estatistica, 1972. p. 6.). Igarapé Preto is presently known as Igarapé Belém. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Igarapé Belém, a tributary of Rio Solimões, in Mun. Tabatinga, Amazonas. Used the reference map and Google Maps - Earth View to locate Igarapé Belém. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of the mouth of the stream (confluence of Igarapé Belém and Rio Solimões in close proximity to the village of Belém do Solimões) and the approximate headwaters of the stream (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Igarapé Belém nearest to the midpoint of the line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates, 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 of the stream. Input coordinates, linear extent (33220.0 m), and measurement error (25 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
