  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Could not locate the Fazenda do Sertao. Georeferenced to the summit of Serra da Grama (~1880 m high), Minas Gerais, Brazil. Serra da Grama is reported to be a feature inside the Parque Estadual Serra do Brigadeiro with an elevation of 1,899m (information provided by the IEF website, accessed at 6/4/2015 http://www.ief.mg.gov.br/component/content/197?task=view ). Using google maps Google Maps - Terrain View and What's Here Tool, located and found (final) coordinates for the peak (-20.749652, -42.471387). Because the boundaries of the mountain Serra da Grama are poorly defined, used Distance Measurement Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates at the peak to the nearest significant named place (Dom Viscoso, -20.766773, -42.517078), then dividing that distance by 2. Input coordinates, linear extent (2555 m), datum (WGS-84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees) and measurement error (10 m) into MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (522m). According to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Undefined Area.
