Georef. RemarksI couldn't find Mosondo, but the description stated that the town was on the junction of the Maranhao and the Tocantins rivers. Currently, the Represa da Serra is located where the junction between the two rivers was. I plotted the locality in that area of the dam, as an approximate.
