Attractive map of northern Brazil with detail of the coastline between Baia de Marajo to Baia de Todosos Santos. The coastal regions are divided into Capitaineries or hereditary harbour offices. The holders of these grants, called donees (donatários), were responsible for their defense and development. The large decorative cartouche fills the otherwise blank interior.
