Potengi estuary
The river widens as it meets the Atlantic, separating the old centre from the northern districts. Its broad, curving mouth gives the top of the map a strong and open shape.

The map
Natal stretches along the Atlantic on Brazil's northeastern corner, and the Potengi River meets the sea at its northern end. The oldest neighbourhoods cluster near that river mouth, while the city runs south along the shore through a chain of beaches towards Ponta Negra. On a map the coastline is a clean, gently curving edge, and the estuary cuts a broad opening across the top.
Between the older centre and the southern beaches lies the Parque das Dunas, a large protected area of forested dunes that appears as an empty band beside dense street grids. At Ponta Negra, the Morro do Careca, a tall bare dune, marks the southern end of the urban beach. The city was founded on Christmas Day 1599, which is where its name comes from.
At the river mouth stands the star-shaped Forte dos Reis Magos, begun by the Portuguese in 1598, and a short way upstream the cable-stayed Newton Navarro Bridge crosses to the northern shore. A Natal map poster that takes in both the estuary and the dune park captures the two edges that define the city: water on one side, sand on the other.

A long strip of forested dunes protected as one of Brazil's largest urban parks. In black and white it becomes a calm blank area running between two dense grids of streets.
The star-shaped fort stands on the reefs at the river mouth. It is a small, precise geometric shape surrounded by water, easy to pick out even at a wide city scale.

Why Natal
Many people know Natal from holidays by the sea, and a map of the shoreline and the estuary is a restrained way to remember a stay there. The long coast suits a tall portrait format, particularly at the 50×70 cm or 24×36″ size.
Add your own title and a subtitle with a date or the name of a beach, then pick one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Sand suits the dunes well. Download the HD files or order a matte print from a print partner near you.
