Georeferencing

Georeference RemarksDemocrat Crossing is located on the border of Brazos County and Grimes County. I could not determine the location of the historical borrow pits mentioned here, so I measured half distance to the nearest named place in Brazos Co. and used the area between that point and Democrat Crossing for the collection area. I placed the collection point on the body of water nearest to the center of this area, because it's unclear whether the specimen was collected on the river or in flooded gravel pits located near it.

Georeferencing Annotation
Has not been Georeferenced because This record, being part of the track 3 import, is not formally georeferenced by FoTX staff at this time. However, to allow mapping and visualization of this record, locality information has been provisionally accepted if provided by the donor or if location text could be matched to previously georeferenced records by FoTX team or donor data. For many records spatial error is either accepted from the donor (when provided) or derived based on coordinate precision.
