    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Geonames.org (http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_-22.95_-44.5.html, accessed 7/30/2015) for locality information for Pedra do Frade (synonymous with Pico do Frade). Georeferenced to an elevation of 1400 m nearest to the approximate geographic center of Pedra do Frade in Macaé, Rio de Janeiro. Used the reference material and Google Maps - Terrain and Satellite Views to locate Pedra do Frade. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the location of the mountain at elevation 1400 m nearest to the approximate geographic center of the mountain. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of elevation 1400 m of the mountain (at: -22.953602, -44.490580). Input coordinate source (locality description), coordinates, datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (309.88 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).
