About this Rurópolis map poster
Rurópolis lies in the Brazilian state of Pará, in the Amazon region, where the Trans-Amazonian Highway meets the road running north toward Santarém. The town was established in the 1970s as part of a federal colonisation programme, which imagined a hierarchy of new settlements along the highway. Its full name, Rurópolis Presidente Médici, still carries that period.
From above, the town is a compact block of streets laid out around the highway junction, surrounded by farmland cleared from the forest. Beyond the edge of town, side roads run off at regular intervals into the countryside, creating the long, comb-like pattern often seen along Amazon highways where settlement followed the road.
The layout says a great deal about how this part of Brazil was opened up, with roads arriving first and towns following them. A Rurópolis map poster records that structure: the meeting of two highways, the grid of the town and the regular lines reaching outward into the surrounding land.

Planned grid
The town's streets follow a regular pattern set out during its founding, a clear contrast with the irregular landscape of rivers and forest nearby.
Side roads outward
Straight feeder roads leave the highway at intervals, drawing parallel lines into the countryside that trace how farmland spread along the route.
