• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to a point along Highway 376 (only major route linking the city of Campo Largo to the place named Vila Velha) closest to the approximate geographic center of a conspicuous expanse of intact grassland (or campo) found near the top of the sloped edge of the second significant topographic plateau (or planalto) encountered along the route of Highway 376 while traveling from Campo Largo to Vila Velha, just within the bounds of the municipality of Palmeira, Parana. Using Google – Text Search, located the city of Campo Largo, the place named Vila Velha, and highway 376. Using Google Maps – Terrain View, located the approximate position of the first (-25.463825, -49.650811), and second (-25.427769, -49.758504) plateaus encountered along the route. And using Google Maps – Satellite View & Street View, located the conspicuous grassland in the vicinity of the top edge of the second plateau. Using Google Maps – What's Here tool, found coordinates (final) for the point along Highway 376 closest to the approximate geographic center of the specified intact grassland. Using Google Maps – Measure Distance tool, estimated linear extent by measuring from the selected final coordinates to the farthest extent of any visible tract of grassland along Highway 376 and either on or adjacent to the slope leading up to the second plateau (-25.442129, -49.748402). Input linear extent (1257.5 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined area).
