  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Wikimapia.org for additional locality information for Vila Cristina (http://wikimapia.org/3876530/pt/Vila-Cristina-Caxias-do-Sul; accessed: 1/25/2016). Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the village of Vila Cristina in Mun. Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. Used the reference material and Google Maps - Earth View to locate Vila Cristina. Used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the village (using visual evidence to approximate). Used the 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 of similar size, Vale do Rio CaÍ, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (3730.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (Named Place: Undefined Area).
