Where is the Taganac River?

The real Taganac River is a river in the Philippines. The exact location is north latitude 8 degrees, 22 minutes, and 50.3 seconds. The longitude is west 117 degrees, 14 minutes, and 40.88 seconds. This might not be the Taganac River in the story. The story doesn't give readers enough setting details for us to confirm this location, and details of the river's geographic location are not given in the story. What we do know is that the Taganac River flows fairly close to a school and has a waterfall within a mile of Morse's house. The school isn't the only building close to the river either. About halfway through the story, the narrator tells readers that the town "spent a mint" on the riverfront. The town is right up against the river, and the river now is next to a nail salon and a cafe.
