  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 1600m high at base of Serra da Piedade, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Using Google Maps - Satellite and Map View - located Serra da Piedade, between the cities of Belo Horizonte and Caeté. Used Terrain View (Google Maps) to located the 1600m high closest to the Serra da Piedade (-19.820266, -43.676328), used it as the select geographic center. Used Distance Measurement Tool and What's Here Tool (Google Maps) to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the select center to the farthest extent of the 1600m elevation in the Serra da Piedade (-19.822532, -43.683624). Input: coordinates (-19.820266, -43.676328), linear extent (0.811km), measurement error (0.01km) into MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (823m). According to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area.
