Brazil Maps

Brazil’s Atlantic coast dominated early European charts of the region, while the Amazon and its tributaries became important routes for mapping the interior. A familiar coastal city or river can offer a point of connection on an old map, while uneven detail reflects the limits of a mapmaker’s knowledge rather than an empty landscape.

Brazil’s vast territory took shape through centuries of expansion beyond the Atlantic coast. The Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494 divided Portuguese and Spanish claims along an Atlantic meridian, but it did not establish Brazil’s modern borders. Portuguese colonists later pushed inland through river travel, mining, ranching, and expeditions that often enslaved Indigenous people. Gold discoveries in Minas Gerais strengthened connections between the interior and coastal ports, while later treaties gradually formalized territorial claims.

Mapping reflected these changing priorities. Early European charts emphasized coastlines, harbors, and navigational landmarks; later surveys traced rivers and routes into the interior. The Amazon and its tributaries were especially important corridors for travel and territorial claims. Indigenous geographic knowledge helped guide journeys, although European maps often obscured its sources. Sparse detail on a historical map therefore reveals limits in the mapmaker’s information, not an absence of communities or knowledge.

Comparing maps of Brazil can reveal shifts in political authority as well as geographic knowledge. Salvador served as the colonial capital before Rio de Janeiro assumed that role in 1763; Brasília became the national capital in 1960. Changing capital symbols, provincial or state boundaries, and transport routes offer clues to each map’s period and purpose, showing how administrative decisions and economic connections shaped the country’s geography.

How to Choose the Right Map

Start with the place or subject that matters, then choose the artwork, format, and size that best fit your space and story.

Choose a hometown, favorite destination, family location, military base, park, lake, railroad, or other place that carries a personal connection.

Try searching by a city, county, state, landmark, year, or specific place name.

Look closely at the map year, geographic coverage, orientation, labels, landmarks, and overall visual style. Different maps of the same place can tell very different stories.

Use the product images and zoom tools to inspect streets, names, boundaries, and historic features.

Select an unframed print for flexibility, a ready-to-hang solid wood frame for a finished presentation, or a wrapped canvas for a clean gallery-style appearance.

Framed prints include protective plexiglass and arrive ready to hang.

Consider the wall, furniture, viewing distance, and amount of visual impact you want. Larger maps make striking focal points, while smaller sizes work well in offices, studies, entryways, and grouped displays.

Measure the available wall area before choosing your final print size.

Every map is available in several display options

Choose from museum-quality unframed prints, framed prints with solid wood frames, or 1.5-inch wrapped canvas.

Vintage Bolivia Maps

Bolivia Maps

Bolivia is a country located within western central South America. Since Bolivia is a landlocked country, it shares its borders with Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru. Bolivia can be defined as a melting pot country, as the country’s population of 11 million is multiethnic, consisting of Amerindians, Mestizos, Europeans, Asians, and Africans. And although Spanish is the official language of the country, there are around 36 different indigenous languages that are recognized as well. When it comes to the land itself, around one third of the country falls within the Andean mountain range. Because of this, Bolivia is often referred to as a highland country as a great majority of the country’s largest cities are located within the mountains. In fact, the mountainous region is one of the highest inhabited areas in the world. Bolivia consists of three physiographic regions, which are the Andean region, the Sub-Andean region, and the Llanos region. The Andean region consists of some of the highest altitudes in the Americas, and consists of 28% of the territory. The Sub-Andean region is located within the center of the country and comprises 13% of the territory. Lastly, the Llanos region makes up 59% of the land, and is a region covered with numerous rain forests. Bolivia is known to be one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. This is because of the vast range of altitudes found within the country. One characteristic that differs Bolivia from other countries is the heavy presence of the camel family, like llamas and alpacas. These species are native to the Andes mountains. In the plains of Bolivia, you can expect to find puma, armadillo, anteaters, marsh deer, as well as capybaras, which are the largest rodents in the world. There are over 1,400 species of birds within Bolivia, which is around 14% of all bird species in the world! In the last fifty years, the population of Bolivia has surprisingly tripled, meaning that the population growth rate is around 2.25%. The five largest cities in Bolivia by population are Santa Cruz de la Sierra, El Alto, La Paz, Cochabamba, and Oruro. Bolivia is also home to a very young population. Around 60% of the entire population is younger than 25 years old, with about 39% of the population being younger than fifteen years old. Around 67% of the Bolivian population lives in urban areas, while the remaining 33% lives in rural areas. This is among the lowest proportions within South America. Bolivia has been a democratically elected government since 1982. The current president is Luis Acre, who took office on November 8th, 2020. Did you know Bolivia is home to two capitals? The constitutionally recognized capital is the city of Sucre, while the city of La Paz is the seat of government. The reasoning for this is because Sucre is named after a revolutionary leader Antonio José de Sucre. The honor of this wanted to be kept, so it was also established that La Paz would be the city where the legislative and executive seats of government would be kept.

The Pacific Ocean off of the coast is home to several sea creatures like sea bass, flounder, tuna, crustaceans, shellfish, as well as sharks, sperm whales, and whales. Plant life is also unique within Peru. The slopes of the country are home to moss, orchids, and bromeliads, while the Amazon Rainforest is known for its amount of trees and canopy plants. Peru’s economy is classified as the 48th largest economy in the world, and is considered an “upper middle” economy by the World Bank. Over the past 25 years the country’s economy has seen high growth and development. The most popular exports from Peru are copper ore, gold, refined petroleum, lead ore, iron ore, zinc ore, refined copper, and animal meal and pellets. Mining is the largest economic sector within the country, as 60% of exports are mining products. In 2019, the country was the second largest world producer of copper, silver, and zinc. Holding a population of 31.2 million, Peru is the fourth most populated country in South America. Over time, the demographic growth rate has declined, going from 2.6% in 1950 to 1.6% in 2000. The population is estimated to reach around 42 million in the year 2050. In 2017, 79.3% of the population lived in urban areas. Major cities within Peru include the metropolitan area of Lima, Arequipa, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Huancayo, and Iquitos.

Covering an area of around 1.14 million square kilometers (440,831 square miles), Colombia is home to a population of 50 million. Colombia is also a country that is known to be very culturally rich, being influenced by African culture, European culture, and as well as indigenous populations. The country is a presidential participatory democracy, and the current president is Iván Duque Márquez since 2018. Made up of six geographical regions, Colombia has varied landscapes found within the country. The Andes mountain range can be found, as well as Pacific Coastal regions and Caribbean coastal regions. Colombia is bordered by Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru. The climate of Colombia is known to be very tropical, due to the country’s close proximity to the equator. Due to geographical differences, there exists a vast amount of different climates within the country. In Colombia, the coastal regions are very animal-rich, and it actually serves as a trade export to numerous North American and European zoos. In these regions, one can find anteaters, multiple monkey species, sloths, deer, spectacled bears, as well as all sorts of tropical rodent species. Along with these, pumas and jaguars can be found, however they have been known as an endangered species. When it comes to plants, Colombia holds around 40,000 to 45,000 different plant species, which is actually equivalent to 10% to 20% of all of the total global species. Colombia is, in fact, the world’s most biodiverse country, and also holds the most endemisms, meaning species that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. In total, Colombia is home to 10% of the world’s mammal species, 14% of the amphibian species, and 18% of the bird species. Historically, Colombia has always been an agrarian society. However, in the 20th century, industrialization hit and by the end of the 20th century, 15.8% of the workforce was employed in agriculture. Colombia is a country rich with natural resources. Some of the top exports within Colombia are mineral fuels, oils, fruits, sugars, plastics, metals, forest products, vehicles, and electronic products.

Venezuela Maps

Venezuela, a country located on the northern coast of South America, consists of a continental landmass as well as numerous islands. The total land area is 916,445 square kilometers, or 353,841 square miles. In 2019, the population was estimated to be 28 million inhabitants, which makes the country the 45th most populated in the world. The country is categorized as developing, and ranks at 113th on the Human Development Index. The current president of Venezuela is Nicolás Maduro; however, his presidency has been under dispute since 2019. Currently in his spot is Juan Guaidó. The country of Venezuela is in the shape of a triangle, and has a long coastline of 2,800 kilometers, or 1,700 miles. There are several Caribbean islands included in that number. The topography of Venezuela can be separated into three regions: the lowland plains, the mountains, and the interior forested uplands. Venezuela’s highest point is located within the mountain range, and is known by the name of Pico Bolívar, with an elevation that exceeds 4,979 meters, or 16,335 feet. When it comes to the biodiversity of Venezuela, the country is one of 17 megadiverse countries in the world. There are several diverse animals found within Venezuela, including manatees, three toed sloth, two toed sloth, Amazon river dolphins, as well as Orinoco Crocodiles. There are seven species of the cat family that reside in forested regions of the country, such as jaguars, ocelots, and pumas. Monkeys are also very commonly found animals, like howler and spider monkeys. Forests cover two-fifths of the land, and a great majority of the vegetation within Venezuela are tropical, evergreen, or semi deciduous. Although it is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, Venezuela is home to dangerous amounts of deforestation, with 287,600 hectares lost annually. The economy of Venezuela is a market-mixed economy, which is primarily dominated by the petroleum sector, as Venezuela is one of the largest oil exporters in the world. In fact, the petroleum sector takes up around 80% of exports, and makes up around a third of the GDP. Aside from the petroleum sector, other popular exports are acrylic alcohols, iron reductions, gold, crustaceans, and hard liquor. In recent decades, the tourism industry has been able to develop rapidly. This is because of its ideal location, the vast variety of landscapes within the country, the high levels of biodiversity within the country, and its tropical climate that all serve as an ideal vacation spot for many. Venezuela is one of the most urbanized countries within Latin America, with around 93% residing within urban areas, as well as 73% of the population living less than 100 kilometers, or 62 miles away from the coastline. The capital, and largest, city is Caracas. Other large cities include Barquisimeto, Valencia, Maracay, Maracaibo, as well as Barcelona-Puerto La Cruz. Following World War II, the mortality rate of Venezuela began to drop as both medical and technological advancements began to integrate into society.
