  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to EFMM Estrada de Ferro Madeira-Mamoré website for a map of the Madeira-Mamoré Railway route (http://vfco.brazilia.jor.br/ferrovias/mapas/1965-Estrada-de-Ferro-Madeira-Mamore.shtml, accessed 8/4/2014). Georeferenced to the approximate location of the Bananeiras station along Madeira-Mamoré railway in Rondônia, Brazil. Using the reference map, Google Earth, and Google Maps - Satellite View, located the approximate location of the Bananeiras station, nearby Igarapé Bananeiras. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the approximate coordinates of the Bananeiras location. Because it is difficult to discern the precise station location, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the nearest approximate stop along the railroad, Nucleo Agricola, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (3605.87 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
