Georeferencing Remarks Georeferencing details copied from donor into FoTX fields | Georef remarks: Coordinates placed in the middle of the Devils River 5mi north of Ft. Hudson and the uncertainty is large because most of the land and the river in that area is surrounded by private land, unsure if collectors had permission or the distance was wrong and they were surveying a different location.
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.
