Georef. RemarksNOTE: Please correct name of river, from "Tesechocan", or "Tesochocan", to TESECHOACÁN (accented A). Also, unable to find town called "Perez" along that river, although I followed it upstream on 1:50,000 maps until Arroyo Montenegro in Oaxaca; closest match is "Perez y Jimenez" in Rio Papaloapan, 13.4 km (8.33 mi) river-miles downstream from where R.Tesechoacán meets R.Papaloapan, at Isla El Gavilan. Marker placed there.
