Guanabara Bay shore
The western edge of the municipality meets the bay in a soft line of inlets and small river mouths, very different from the rocky coast of Rio across the water.

The map
São Gonçalo lies on the eastern side of Guanabara Bay, directly beside Niterói and across the water from Rio de Janeiro. It is one of the most populous municipalities in the state. Its map is almost entirely filled with residential streets spread over rolling ground of small hills and valleys, broken here and there by green slopes too steep to build on.
Unlike the dramatic peaks and beaches of Rio, São Gonçalo's shoreline is quieter, with inlets, river mouths and mangrove edges along the bay. Main roads such as the BR-101 cross the municipality and link it to Niterói and the Rio–Niterói Bridge, drawing long lines through the otherwise intricate street pattern.
A São Gonçalo map poster is a portrait of the everyday metropolis: thousands of short streets bending around hills, districts merging into one another, and the bay forming a calm boundary on the western side. At print size the density itself becomes the subject, an intricate web that rewards a close look.
The western edge of the municipality meets the bay in a soft line of inlets and small river mouths, very different from the rocky coast of Rio across the water.
Streets curl around low morros and hollows, so the network looks less like a grid and more like a fingerprint pressed onto the landscape.
The federal highway crosses São Gonçalo as a broad, confident line, connecting the city with Niterói and the road network of the wider state.
