Georef. RemarksTampico markets are along the river Rio Panuco at approximately (22.21467, -97.86849). Uncertainty radius is large because I have included lagoons and river; however, polygon on or close to river is likely the true locality. Please correct "Tamesoe" to "Tamesí". Also, please correct state to Tamaulipas, for localities listed as "Tampico" (a city in Tamaulipas, on the border with State of Veracruz).
