Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the geographic center of the peninsula directly north of the city of Alter do Chão, Pará. The peninsula is surrounded by the Tapajós River to the west and Lago Verde to the east. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the peninsula of Alter do Chão. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure the total extent of the peninsula; halved this distance to approximate the location of the geographic center of the peninsula. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the geographic center. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the peninsula. Used linear extent as the uncertainty radius.)
