Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Maroa is both a city (county seat) and county in Amazonas, Venezuela. The city of Maroa is situated along Rio Guainia. Because the locality description specifically states Rio Guainia and mentions the altitude of collection was 127 m, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the city. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the city of Maroa. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city of Maroa. Because the city of Maroa does not have defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the nearest named place along Rio Guainia, Guzmán Blanco, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (4045.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.)
