The map
Apuí lies in the south of Amazonas state, on the BR-230 Transamazônica highway. The town grew from a large agricultural settlement project in the 1980s, and from above its most striking feature is the pattern of side roads branching off the main highway at regular intervals, each leading into the forest. This fishbone layout is characteristic of Amazon settlement areas.
The town itself is a compact grid of streets beside the highway, with farmland and pasture extending outward along the side roads. Apuí has become one of the areas where forest loss in the Amazon is closely monitored, and the edges of cleared land are clearly visible from above.
An Apuí map poster captures this unusual geometry. The highway crosses the frame in a long line, with side roads extending out like ribs, and the town sits as a small cluster in the middle. It is an image that shows both how people settled the Amazon and how that settlement shaped the forest around them.

Side roads branch from the highway at regular intervals, creating the ribbed pattern typical of Amazon settlement projects visible across the map.
The urban core is a compact grid beside the highway, a small dense area at the centre of a vast and mostly open composition.

Why Apuí
Apuí maps mean something to families who settled along the Transamazônica, as well as to researchers and conservationists who know the region. Its geometry is unlike any traditional town.
