I checked some of the coordinates using google earth - view option -Mars
The first leads to Cydonia - the region with the face and pyramids. (Be sure to change the coordinates into minutes and seconds West and it works. ) The others I couldn't make out because of resolution issues.
This left me with some questions. The document could be a fake and must have been made quite recently since that Cydonia area only gained note in the late 1990's in the Main stream. We don't know who made it and when despite the dating of the document.
If it was actually made in 1984 it was made with some insider data from NASA. The release of this document coming directly from the CIA website makes me think that his was a kind of test or perhaps thought experiment to see if they could convince people of incredible ideas with a little corroborating evidence.
Of course, that leaves the 3rd possibility that this is all real and my current understanding and perception of the universe and it's physical laws is completely ruined.

I'm from a military family and have many CIA family members. I was told similar stories my entire life.

I love that you at least entertain the final sentence.

I am willing to accept that the universe is stranger than I can imagine.
