    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic center of Rio Xingu within Altamira. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Rio Xingu in Altamira, Pará. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line between the beginning and end of Rio Xingu within Altamira; halved this distance to approximate the location of the midpoint of the river.
