Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Ilha São Luíz in Maranhão, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the island of São Luíz. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the island, using visual evidence to approximate. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent of the island by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the island. Input coordinates, linear extent (27000.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).)
