Hi Ilene;
As far as I know (meaning we've never been able
to get them) SA-18-16 was never printed by the
Peruvians and the JOG chart has not been
available in the past 15 years. There may be an
early edition JOG in a library somewhere that I'm
not aware of as many of the JOGs have been out of print for a while.
You should also look at the 1:100,000s, which are
available - sheet 7Q is the one you want (which
we happen to have in stock). Looking at the two
coordinates you list, neither village is named on
the map. The first one is located on a peninsula
into the Rio Napo and a small unnamed cluster of
buildings is at that location. The second
location has no buildings shown, although there
is a small unnamed cluster at 72d 42m and 3d 24m 20s
Cheers
Russell
