Tabula
Cantagalo is in the mountainous north-central part of Rio de Janeiro state in Brazil, inland from the coast and beyond the ranges of the Serra do Mar. The town sits in a valley, and its map follows the land. Streets run along the lower ground beside a watercourse, then climb in short, bending sections up the slopes, and the edges are set by the hills.
The municipality has a notable literary connection. Euclides da Cunha, the author of Os Sertões, one of the defining works of Brazilian literature, was born within its boundaries in 1866. The area has a long agricultural history, and the landscape of hills, pasture and patches of forest still surrounds the town.
A Cantagalo map poster captures a town built to fit the terrain. There is a dense centre on the valley floor, lanes climbing into the hills and open country all around. In black and white the winding lines express the topography clearly and make for a quiet, detailed composition.
The oldest and densest streets lie in the valley bottom, where the ground is flattest. This is the busiest part of the map, packed into a long, narrow strip.
Streets leave the centre and bend up the surrounding slopes. Their irregular curves show the hills clearly, even though the poster has no contour lines.
Pasture, forest remnants and farms cover the hills around the town. They form wide open areas at the edges of the print, crossed by winding rural roads.

Cur Cantagalo
For people from Cantagalo and the surrounding serra, the map is a clear portrait of a town shaped by its hills. Readers of Euclides da Cunha may also value a link to the place where he was born.
