Georeferencing Remarks Georeferencing details copied from donor into FoTX fields | Georef remarks: Coordinates placed in Medina River at Bandina Ranch Rd just off SH16 W of Bandera and the uncertainty includes two other road crossings over the Medina River within 10mi of Bandera. Should be W not N, the river doesn't run north of Bandera and there isn't one clear crossing around 5mi away from 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.
