Sources:

  • Seaborn map 1974: While this map is quite useful, it is not improbable that the cartographer intentionally introduced a "fudge factor" that resulted in her showing the approximate location but intentionally not showing the actual location as accurately as possible. It is not known whether such as adjustment would have been made to the plotted location, to the stated coordinates or both. This is what is implied with the confidence level of **.
