São Francisco River
The river is broad and full of islands here. It is the largest single shape on the map, a wide band of water along one side of the town.

The map
Belém de São Francisco sits on the Pernambuco bank of the São Francisco River, facing Bahia across the water. The river is wide here and dotted with islands, and on a map it dominates everything. A broad band of water runs along the town's edge, with the streets set out in a tidy pattern behind it.
Inland the land turns to caatinga, the dry scrub of the sertão, and the contrast is strong. Irrigated fields cling to the riverbanks, while the ground farther back looks pale and open, crossed by roads and tracks. The São Francisco, often called the river of national integration, is the reason the town exists and the reason it looks the way it does.
A Belém de São Francisco map poster is really a portrait of a town and its river together. Printed large, the islands, channels and banks make a strong graphic shape, and the regular streets beside them add a human scale. It is a meaningful piece for anyone with family along the sertão stretch of the São Francisco.
The river is broad and full of islands here. It is the largest single shape on the map, a wide band of water along one side of the town.
Islands and sandbanks in the channel appear as irregular shapes in the water. They give the river texture and make every framing of the poster slightly different.
Behind the waterfront, the streets form a fairly regular grid. This compact urban block contrasts with the flowing lines of the river beside it.
