  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Assumed Rio Miua to be synonymous with Igarapé Miuá. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Igarapé Miuá, a tributary of Rio Negro, nearby Camanaús, Mun. São Gabriel da Cachoeira. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Igarapé Miuá. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line between the mouth of Igarapé Miuá (confluence of Igarapé Miuá and Rio Negro) to the source of the stream (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to approximate the location of the midpoint of the stream. Measured to approximately this halved distance from the mouth of the stream toward the center; used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates, on the adjacent eastern shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Igarapé Miuá, 15957.1 m), and measurement error (.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
