  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Using Google Maps, located road BR-174 between Caracaraí and Rio Branco. Used measurement tool to measure a straight line starting at the junction of BR-174 and Rio Branco to BR-174 in the geographic center of Caracaraí. Halved this distance to approximate the midpoint along this segment of the road. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates. Input coordinates, linear extent (the distance from the midpoint to the farthest point on the road that is within the administrative boundaries, 4878.54 m.), and measurement error (.01 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
