  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of "2 horas arriba" because locality is described in time rather than distance; instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Momón, near Iquitos in Maynas Province, Loreto. Used Google Maps – Earth View to locate Rio Momón. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Rio Momón, a tributary of Rio Nanay. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the mouth of the river (confluence of Rio Momón and Rio Nanay) and the headwaters of Rio Momón (approximated through the dense forest cover, at -3.437713, -73.522385), totaling 39.85 km, then halved the distance to find the midpoint of the line (19.925 km). Chose a point along Rio Momón closest to the midpoint line; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates (-3.553114, -73.378937). Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent of the river by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the river. Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (19925.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find uncertainty radius.
