Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the mouth of Rio Tejo, a tributary of Rio Juruá, in Mun. Marechal Thaumaturgo, Acre. Using Google Maps - Earth View, located the mouth of Rio Tejo (confluence of Rio Tejo and Rio Juruá). Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the mouth of the river, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent of the mouth of the river by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the confluence of Rio Tejo and Rio Juruá. Input coordinates, linear extent (118.52 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Mouth or headwaters of a river, confluence of waterways, trailhead).)
