• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate midpoint of the unnamed side-road described in the locality which branches from the Sáo José da Vitória-Una road (BA 669) to the right at approximatly 8 km along the road from Sáo José da Vitória towards Una, in Mun. Buerarema, Bahia. Using Google Maps-Sattelite View located the road linking the town of Sáo José da Vitória to the town of Una (BA 669). Then, using distance measurement tool, located the side-road which branches off from BA 669 at approximatly 8 km road distance from the point along BA 669 closest to the approximate geographic center of the town of Sáo José da Vitória in the direction of the town of Una. Begining at the intersection of BA 669 and the unnamed side-road (-15.1011703 -39.2774963), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line to the farthest extent of the unnamed side-road (-15.1588222 -39.3021217), then divided that distance by two to find the position of the approximate geographic midpoint. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs found coordinates (final) for the point along the unnamed side-road closest to the approximate geographic midpoint of the unnamed side-road. Used the straight line distance from these final coordiantes near the midpoint of the road to the further of the two enpoints of the road as the linear extent. Input coordinates, linear extent (3.47468 m), and measurement error (0.0005 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: river, stream, road, path).
