  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the closest point within the boundaries of the Reserva Estadual de Wenceslau Guimaraes to the center of the populated place named: "Fazenda Nova Esperança", which is located on the eastern boundary of the Reserve, in Mun. Wenceslau Guimarães, Bahia. Using a map from an official state document regarding the Reserva Estadual de Wenceslau Guimaraes (http://www.meioambiente.ba.gov.br/DecretosUnidadesdeConservacao/Dec%20Esta%C3%A7%C3%A3o%20Ecol%C3%B3gica%20amplia%C3%A7%C3%A3o2000.pdf) found the approximate location of the reserve within the municipality of Wenceslau Guimaraes. Using a paper map of the area (Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste. "Jaguaquara" [Map]. Mapas da Região Nordeste do Brasil – 1:100,000. Convênio SUDENE – Governo do Estado da Bahia. SUDENE, Recife, PE, Brasil. 1977) located the Fazenda Nova Esperança, which appears to lie on the eastern border of the reserve as its boundaries are portrayed on the official state map. Using Google Maps - Terrain View, and referencing the topographic features shown on the paper map, re-identified the location of Nova Esperança. Using Google Maps - Measure Distance tool, estimated the linear extent by measuring from the approximate geographic center of the central settled area of the Fazenda Nova Esperança (-13.6018495, -39.6992469) to the center of the nearest comparable named place, the Fazenda Rancho Queimado (-13.5772227 -39.7000033: found by referencing the paper map in the same manner as described above for locating the Fazenda Nova Esperança), then dividing that distance by 2. Finally, using Google Maps - What's Here tool, found coordinates (final) for the closest point within the Reserva Estadual de Wenceslau Guimaraes to the selected coordinates at the center of the Fazenda Nova Esperança. Input linear extent (1371.38 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), 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: Near a named place).
