Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the location of where the road which connects the cities of Bragança and Viseu meets the shore of Rio Piriá in Mun. Viseu, Pará. Used Google Maps - Earth View to find the road which connects the cities of Bragança to Viseu, BR-308. Located where this road intersects Rio Piriá, south of the city of Curupati. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the intersection of road BR-308 and Rio Piriá, on the shore of the river south of Curupati. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the intersection of the road and river. Input coordinates, linear extent (192.55 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Junction, Intersection, Crossing).)
