Georeferencing Remarks Georeferencing details copied from donor into FoTX fields | Georef remarks: There is a CR385 within 2mi of the Pecos River S of Grandfalls, but it doesn't intersect it at any point. The collection was in 1969 so there could have been some changes to road names in the area. Coordinates placed at SH18, as that's the only road intersection of the Pecos River immediately south of Grandfalls, and the uncertainty spans a large area of the river south of the town.
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.
