  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic midpoint of New River (tributary of Courantyne River) in East Berbice-Corentyne, Guyana. Used Google Maps - Earth and Map Views to locate New River. Used Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the mouth of the river (confluence of New River and Courantyne River, located along the borders of Suriname and Guyana; see: 3.356219, -57.569382) and the headwaters of the river (approximated; see: 1.800505, -57.929951), then halved this distance (88.8 km) to find the midpoint of the line. Moved midpoint to the closest point along the river (collection assumed to be terrestrial); used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximated geographic midpoint of New River. 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 river (88.9 km). Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (88900 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: River, stream, road, path).
