Note:

he map depicts a stylized built-up area, typical of a plan. However, the city walls and fortifications are in considerable detail which might imply a military use to the map. It identifies the Border Gate with an explanation of its purpose; the Green Island used by the Jesuits; the unnamed Chinese village of Mong-Há and the A-Ma Temple (Pagode Chinoise). However, the most detail is given to military information such as where the vessels are built in Lapa (Partie de l'Isle des Pretres) and its Batery (Batt); the location of the harbors; the major fortification of Monte (N.D. de la Montaigne); the Barra fortress (S.t Jacques et S.t Philippe); the bastion of Nossa Senhora do Bom Parto (N.D.e de Bomparto) and even a shore battery under the Guia fort (Nossa Senhora da Guia) where a lighthouse was built years later. This is a very common map of Macau that was published in many sizes and by many authors throughout the years.
