Georef. RemarksNo such Rio Canatlan here. Marker placed in result of "Arroyo Las Cabras"+"Arroyo Las Huertas". This stream joins "Arroyo El Carpintero" at (24.1734436, -104.705183), ca. 2.87 km NNE of here; resulting river then flows into the Presa Peņa del Aguila (Reservoir), out of which flows the "Rio La Sauceda". J Tamayo, in Geografia General de Mexico (1949), Vol.II,p.304-305, says this river and Rio Canatlan join at some point.I believe dam built after collection and altered landscape.Please correct to MEZQUITAL
