Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the point at 1140 m elevation along the trail leading up to the place called Mae Catira, found near the summit Pico do Sete, within the mountain range Serra da Graciosa, in Mun. Quatro Barras, Parana. Using an image of a fine-scale topographic map of the area (http://altamontanha.com/Aventura/3016/mae-catira--farinha-seca) located the place called Mãe Catira and translated that position to Google Maps – Terrain View by comparing the contour lines which are visible on both sources. Using Google Maps – What's Here tool, found coordinates for the point at 1140 m along the trail leading up to "Mae Catira" as it appears on the topographic map. Using Google Maps – Measure Distance tool, estimated linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest point at the next elevation discernible based on the contour lines visible using Google Maps - Terrain View (1160 m elevation; -25.344554, -48.909930). Input linear extent (103.17 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined area).)
