Georeferencing Method
Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of the lake; instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the region of Bôca do Curuquetê in Mun. Lábrea, Amazonas. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the region of Bôca do Curuquetê along Rio Ituxi, which is in close proximity of the mouth of Rio Curuquetê. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the region of Bôca do Curuquetê. Because Bôca do Curuquetê does not have defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the geographic center of the nearest named place on the same side of Rio Ituxi, Nova Apua, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (4343.315 m), and measurement error (.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
