Georeferencing Method
Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Coordinates of elevation 3050m nearest to centre of Phimaw (=Hpimaw) were located (Schweinfurth, 1975). Linear extent was calculated as the halved distance between coordinates and centre of second nearest named place, Shijang (inorder to not assume small area). Linear extent was used as the uncertainty radius.
