    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the city of Balsapuerto in Alto Amazonas Province, Loreto, Peru. Used Google Maps – Terrain and Earth Views to locate the city of Balsapuerto. Used the Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the village.
