  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. The information written as: "a 45 km de Uruçuca." was presumed to be inaccurate because the only road connecting the city of Uruçuca with Serra Grande is only 37.6 km long. Therefore, georeferenced to the point along the road connecting the city of Uruçuca with the town of Serra Grande, BA-653, closest to the approximate geographic midpoint between these two named places, in Mun. Uruçuca, Bahia. Using Wikimapia, located the coastal town of Serra Grande, the position of which was verified using a paper map ("Salvador" [map]. 1:1,000,000. In: Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia. Departamento de Cartografia. International Chart Of The World On The Millionth Scale: Brazil. Rio de Janeiro: 1972. page 32.) Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Uruçuca and the road leading from Uruçuca to Serra Grande, BA-653. Beginning at the point along BA-653 closest to the approximate geographic center of the city of Uruçuca (-14.5886504 -39.2817235), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line to the point along BA-653 closest to the approximate geographic center of the town of Serra Grande (-14.4648823 -39.0402174), then halving that distance to approximate the location of the geographic midpoint. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates for the point along BA-653 closest to this midpoint. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to estimate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the center of the farther of the two named places (Uruçuca). Input coordinates, linear extent (15,163.6 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: Between two places).
