The map

About this Barcelos map poster

Barcelos lies on the Rio Negro in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, far upriver from Manaus. The town is a narrow strip of streets running parallel to the riverbank, with the forest close behind it. On a map the river dominates everything. It is a vast dark band that makes the settlement look like a thin line drawn along its shore.

Near the town the Rio Negro spreads out into the Mariuá archipelago, often counted among the largest river archipelagos in the world, a maze of islands and channels. Seen from above, the islands break the water into long fragments, and the composition becomes as much about the pattern of the river as about the town.

Barcelos was the first capital of the colonial captaincy that later became the state of Amazonas. Today it is known for ornamental fish such as the cardinal tetra and for sport fishing. A Barcelos map poster shows this setting with restraint: a few streets, a long waterfront and an immense river.

01

Rio Negro waterfront

The main streets follow the riverbank in long parallel lines, so the waterfront becomes the spine of the whole map and the river its largest shape.

02

Mariuá archipelago

Countless islands and channels divide the Rio Negro near Barcelos, turning the water on the map into an intricate pattern of long, narrow islands.

03

Forest edge

Behind the last streets the map simply ends in open space. This marks where the town gives way to rainforest and makes the settlement's small footprint unmistakable.

Why Barcelos

A map that means something

This is a map for people who have travelled the Rio Negro, fished its waters or grown up in the town. Its sparseness is the point: a handful of streets against a huge river says more about the place than many photographs could.

You can edit the title, subtitle and coordinates, for example to add the dates of a river journey. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, and download 300 DPI PNG and PDF files in six print sizes for $9, or order a printed poster.
