Madeira River
The broad river runs along the western side of the city. Its width dwarfs the streets beside it and gives the map a bold mass of water that anchors every style.

The map
Porto Velho, the capital of Rondônia, stands on the eastern bank of the Madeira River, one of the major tributaries of the Amazon. The plan of the city is simple and easy to read. A grid of streets spreads inland from the waterfront, and the river forms a hard western edge. Beyond the urban area, the street network quickly thins into roads leading through farmland and forest.
The city grew up around the construction of the Madeira-Mamoré Railway in the early twentieth century. This notoriously difficult project was built to carry rubber past the rapids of the Madeira. The old railway yard near the river is still one of the best-known places in town. Upstream, the Santo Antônio hydroelectric dam now spans the river.
A Porto Velho map poster is defined by the contrast between the orderly grid and the sweeping curve of the Madeira. The river takes up a large part of the frame. This gives the design a strong, simple structure that reads well on a wall from a distance, even at the smaller print sizes.
The broad river runs along the western side of the city. Its width dwarfs the streets beside it and gives the map a bold mass of water that anchors every style.
The historic yard of the Madeira-Mamoré Railway sits near the waterfront, a reminder that the city was founded around the line and its difficult construction.
Streets run in a fairly regular pattern away from the river and loosen into larger blocks and longer avenues toward the outskirts.

Why Porto Velho
Many people pass through Porto Velho for work, government business or family, and a map of it is a clear, uncluttered souvenir of the Amazonian frontier. The title, subtitle and coordinates line are all editable, so the poster can mark a move, an anniversary or a birthplace.
The poster comes in five styles: Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint for a technical look, and Sand for warmer interiors. Try the free 900 px preview first, then choose the $9 digital files or a printed matte poster with an optional wooden frame.
