    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Geonames.org for locality information for Quebrada Iricahua, synonymous with Quebrada Caño Iricahua (http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_-4.815_-73.791.html, accessed: 7/1/2015).

Used the reference material and Google Maps- Satellite view to locate the mouth (confluence of Quebrada Caño Iricahua and Rio Ucayali . Used Google Maps-What's Here tool to find the coordinates of the geographic point of the shore closest the mouth of the river (collection assumed to be terrestrial).
