  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Could not locate the Fazenda Santa Rita using any online resources (no small-scale paper maps were available for this area); however, lat. Long. coordinates for another collection made near the "Fazenda Santa Rita" by this same collector in a different year were found in the Emu Database (NY Site IRN: 908038). Therefore, Georeferenced to the closest point at within a forested area to the coordinates provided in the other site related to the Fazenda Santa Rita (20 45 37 S, 42 03 24 W), in Mun. Faria Lemos, Minas Gerais. Using Google Maps - Terrain View, Satellite View, and What's Here tool identified this point as described, and found its coordinates (final). Because the boundaries of the Fazenda Santa Rita are poorly defined, used Google Maps - Measure Distance tool to approximate linear extent by measuring a straight line to the center of the nearest named place, The town of Carangola (-20.734002, -42.030478), then dividing that distance by 2. Input linear extent (2031.5 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
