Map:

Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Ilha da Marchantaria in Amazonas, Brazil. Referred to map provided by "The Holocene alluvial plain of the middle Amazon River, Brazil" article for location information for Ilha da Marchantaria (Latrubesse, Edgardo M., et al., "The Holocene alluvial plain of the middle Amazon River, Brazil." Geomirphology, Vol. 44, Issues 3-4 (May 2002): Pages 241-257. accessed 23 October 2013). Using the reference map and Google Maps - Satellite View, located Ilha da Marchantaria in Rio Solimões, Amazonas. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure the total extent of the island, then halved this extent to approximate the location of the geographic center of the island. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the geographic center. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the island. Used linear extent as the uncertainty radius.)
