  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to a point along the banks of the Rio de Contas near the center of the city of Jequié, in Mun. Jequié, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Jequié, and the Rio de Contas which runs directly through the city. Using Google Maps - What's Here tool, found coordinates (final) for a point along the banks of the river near to the center of the city. Used Google Maps – Measure Distance tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates along the river near the center of the city to the farthest point along the Rio de Contas within the city limits of Jequié (-13.904089, -40.036550). Input linear extent (6743 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84) and measurement error (1 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).
