Your intern somehow manages to convince the local forestry corporation to share an old field map of the region. Problem is, the file is not georeferenced and she is having trouble doing so. Not being familiar with affine transformations, she picks some horrible references and her attempt has an error of a couple meters.
This is your chance to teach your intern a valuable skill and you’re very close to finalizing the map of the region. What is your next move?
