  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. "Acqueroo" is a misspelling of Akwero. Referred to geonames.org for locality information for Akwero (http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_7.65_-58.933.html, accessed: 8/20/2015). Also referred to a geotagged photograph of Moruca River, nearby the location of Akwero (https://ssl.panoramio.com/photo/36876892, accessed: 8/20/2015). Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Akwero along what appears to be the Moruca River in Barima-Waini, Guyana. Used the reference materials and Google Maps - Earth View to locate the village of Akwero. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the village. Because of the difficulty in determining the spatial extent of the village, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the nearest named place, Kumaka, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (1220.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
