The map
Nilópolis is in the Baixada Fluminense, the northern suburban belt of greater Rio de Janeiro. By area it is among the smallest municipalities in Brazil, and its streets are packed very tightly. On a map it looks almost solid: a compact patch of small blocks with hardly any open land, surrounded by neighbouring suburbs.
A suburban railway line cuts straight through the town and divides it into two halves, with the station at the centre. The town is best known for the samba school Beija-Flor de Nilópolis. It is one of the most successful schools in the Rio Carnival, and it carries the town's name to the Sambadrome every year.
A Nilópolis map poster shows how much city can fit into a very small area. In print, the fine grid of residential streets gives an even, dense texture. The railway makes a clean diagonal through it. It is a strong graphic image and a matter of real local pride.
The suburban railway runs straight through the town, with the station at the centre. It is the strongest single line on the map.
Small residential blocks fill almost the whole municipality. They make the poster read as a tight, even texture of streets.
The town occupies only a small area, so a single print can show the whole place at a scale where individual streets are clear.
