    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to "Traveling Luck" website (http://travelingluck.com/South%20America/Brazil/Acre/_3663705_Rio%20Juru%C3%A1-Mirim.html) for location information for Rio Juruá-Mirim. Unable to find precise location along Rio Juruá-Mirim since description provided in time (hours) not distance; georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Juruá-Mirim. Using Google Maps, located Rio Juruá-Mirim, a tributary of Rio Juruá, in Acre, BR. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line starting at the mouth of Rio Juruá-Mirim (meeting of Rio Juruá-Mirim and Rio Juruá) to the farthest extent of Rio Juruá-Mirim; halved this distance to approximate the location of the midpoint of Rio Juruá-Mirim. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the midpoint, along the shoreline. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Rio Juruá-Mirim, 38906.0 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
