Apologies, I couldn't resist a stupid gazetteer trick.
 
For the next time: Circa is a town in Peru, Apurimac province, located at
13 deg 52 min 27 S by 72 deg 52 min 22.

Just this morning a patron wanted to see a map which
showed the ORIGINAL location of Alcatraz Island--before
'they' towed it to its original spot and chained it down.
(It is composed of pumice, he said.  Therefore, it could
easily float.)  This presented quite a challenge to our
Map Library staff!
