Georef. RemarksDescription is ambiguous/contains conflicting information, because La Goma is not 2 miles from Lerdo (more like 10 miles WSW). Marker placed at bridge crossing the Nazas, approximately 2.6 miles South of Lerdo's *latitude*. Since date of collection in 1950's, Rio Nazas has pretty much dried up due to human activity.
