The radial fan
Avenues spread outward from the civic square in a semicircle, giving the centre its unmistakable half-wheel shape. It is among the clearest planned layouts in Brazil.

The map
Boa Vista has one of the most recognisable plans of any Brazilian city. Its central streets radiate from the Praça do Centro Cívico like the ribs of an open fan, with the wide curve of the Rio Branco running along the eastern side. The layout was designed in the 1940s, when the town became capital of a new federal territory, and it still defines the city's shape today.
Beyond the fan, the city spreads west in a looser grid of residential blocks, interrupted by small lakes that dot the surrounding savanna, locally called lavrado. The Macuxi Bridge crosses the river to the east bank. A Boa Vista map poster makes the radial design especially striking: from above the centre looks almost like a diagram, with every avenue leading back to the same point.
Boa Vista is the capital of Roraima and the only Brazilian state capital located entirely north of the equator. It lies far from the country's other major cities, closer to Venezuela and Guyana than to much of Brazil, and the road north toward the Venezuelan border passes through it. The flat terrain lets the street pattern show without interruption.
Avenues spread outward from the civic square in a semicircle, giving the centre its unmistakable half-wheel shape. It is among the clearest planned layouts in Brazil.
The broad river forms the eastern edge of the old town. Its sandbanks and wide channel appear as a large pale area set against the dense street lines.
Small rounded lakes are scattered through the western districts and the open land beyond, breaking the grid with soft, irregular shapes.
