Hierdie plek het ons gesitueer volgens die Kriegskarte wat tot op sy tyd opmeetkundig die betroubaarste gids was. Alexander plaas die dorpie te ver ooswaarts, Hahn weer te ver suidwaarts, vergeleke met die Kriegskarte wat dit aangee as ’n bron aan die pad na Haris, geleë wes van Bismarckfel- sen en suidelik van Haris, d.w.s. aan ’n suidelike elmboog van die Auas- berge.
