These three matched maps cover the entire Brazilian coastline and show the capitaincies or hereditary harbor offices. The first map covers from the mouth of the Amazon to Baía de Todos os Santos. Only coastal detail is shown with the interior region noted as being unknown and the domain of the Tapuyas Indian nation. The other two maps continue down the coast to the Rio de la Plata and provide more information on the interior.
