  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Because 2 km directly W from the town of Tres Branços would not be located along the Rio Preto, assumed the locality means 2 km generally westward along the road which parallels the Rio Preto, BA 120. Therefore, georeferenced to 2 km BA 120 in the generally westward direction from the town of Tres Branços, in Mun. Cravolândia, Bahia. 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 town of Tres Branços. Using Google Maps - Terrain View, and referencing the topographic features shown on the paper map, re-identified the location of Tres Branços (found ca. 6.3 km ENE from the place where the name "Tres Branços" appears on Google maps. Beginning at the point along BA 120 closest to the approximate geographic center of the town of Tres Branços (-13.5130182 -39.6968544), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 2 km (2.00005 km) along BA 120 in the generally westward direction. using Candensys Lat/Long Crosshairs found coordinates (final) for the point along the Rio Preto closest to the final offset (<0.06 km distant from the road). Using Distance Measurement Tool again found the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the town of Tres Branços, by measuring from the selected starting coordinates near the center of the town to the farthest extent of town (-13.5084125 -39.7025031). Input coordinates, linear extent (0.800311 km), distance precision (1 km), and measurement error (0.0005 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: offset along a path).
