    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the shore of Lake Quistococha in Quistococha, Loreto, Peru. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Laguna de Quistococha (Lake Quistococha), in the city of Quistococha. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the lake, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the lake. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (690.19 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).
