The official maps provide a snapshot of the State’s 62 municipalities and can be used by public managers, students and the general public.
Anyone who wants to know in detail the 62 municipalities of Amazonas now has at their disposal the new 2022 Municipal Map Collection from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), published this Wednesday (7).
The collection presents maps with updated information from all Brazilian municipalities produced from the Digital Municipal Mesh and updated in the 2022 Census.
The head of the IBGE Information Dissemination sector in Amazonas, Luan da Silva Rezende, said that the maps were generated from applications that collect information from technological georeferencing bases and the field work of the institute’s agents.
“The maps show the political-administrative division, delimitation of urban areas (neighborhoods), special areas, environmental conservation, hydrography, road system and serve both the technical work of IBGE and other public agents, such as municipal managers, establishments of education and the general public”, said Rezende, adding that the maps can be downloaded for free on the IBGE website.
The manager of Data Infrastructure and Services at the Coordination of Territorial Structures, Diogo Nunes da Silva, highlights that municipal maps provide an overview of the entire country, with a focus on functional and simplified communication, covering the following levels of information:
- Political-administrative division, considering international borders, state borders, municipal limits and intra-municipal division (Districts and Sub-Districts);
- Delimitation of Special Areas: officially delimited indigenous lands, officially delimited Quilombola Territories, Settlement projects and Conservation Units; delimitation of urban areas of cities, towns and urban centers; main rural locations; local landmarks; information about the road system and Hydrography”, explained Silva.
The Brazilian Territorial Division Manager of the Coordination of Territorial Structures, José Henrique da Silva, explains the importance of updating maps for public agents.
