The map
Novo Progresso is in the south-west of Pará, on the BR-163, the long highway that connects Cuiabá in Mato Grosso with Santarém on the Amazon. The town grew as a settlement along this road, and the map still shows that origin. A long central axis runs through the middle, with a grid of blocks laid out on either side of it.
The streets are straight and wide and the blocks regular, as is typical of towns planned quickly on flat land. At the edges the grid meets pasture and the straight lines of side roads that run far into the surrounding country, many of them bordered by remnants of forest. It is a landscape of rectangles cut into a much larger, irregular green.
The area has been at the centre of debates about Amazon deforestation, and in 2019 it drew national attention during the events known as the day of fire. A Novo Progresso map poster shows the town without commentary, as a clean record of how a road, a grid and the forest meet.
The highway runs straight through the town and serves as its main street. It is the single line from which almost every other road on the map is measured.
Rectangular blocks spread out on both sides of the highway in an orderly pattern, with wide streets that read clearly even at the smallest print size.
Unpaved roads leave the grid in long straight lines into the surrounding land, a fishbone pattern common along Amazon highways that is especially striking in black and white.

Why Novo Progresso
People who have lived or worked here, from farmers to researchers and journalists, often want a record of a place that shaped how they see the Amazon. The strict geometry of the grid against the open land makes a strong graphic image.
