  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to an elevation of approx. 1050 m nearest to the approximate geographic center of Canyon Fortaleza in Cambará do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. Used Google Maps - Earth and Terrain Views to locate Canyon Fortaleza. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of elevation 1050 m nearest to the approximate geographic center of Canyon Fortaleza. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of 1050 m elevation contour line of the canyon (to: -29.021211, -49.940140). Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (4110 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).
