Georeferencing Method
Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of "Gummels Farm;" instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Kwatta, in Wanica, Suriname. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Kwatta. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of Kwatta. Because Kwatta has defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Kwatta. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (7560.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).
