  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Raleigh Falls, along the Coopername River, in Kabalebo, Suriname. Used clues from other locality descriptions and the Google Image Gallery (crowdsourced georeferenced photographs) to locate the precise location of Raleigh Falls, along the Coopername River. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the waterfall area, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the waterfalls (using visual evidence to determine). Input coordinates, linear extent (2000 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).
