    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Geonames.org (http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_47.218_-95.201.html, accessed: 2015/10/21) for locality information for Bear Point. Used the reference map and Google Earth/Map Views to locate Bear Point (assumed to be Bear Paw Point, Itasca State Park, MN. Specimen label mentions Itasca State Park). Used Geonames.org coordinates to find the approximate geographic center of Bear Point. Unable to discern the precise spatial boundaries of the point so used Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place (Schoolcraft Island) and halving its distance (311.68 m). input coordinates, linear extent (311.68 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place, Undefined Area).
