Note: 
The map is headed with a world map where Portugal and its colonies of the 16th and 19th centuries are marked. Right underneath, at the center, there is a map of continental Portugal with the intermunicipal communities in different colors and marked with all the cities, villages, railways, rivers, forts, lighthouses, etc. etc. with an inset with Lusitania and old Spain. At the left side of this map there is a column which states all the Portuguese colonies on the West with a brief description and their respective maps. On the right side are the Portuguese colonies of the West in which Macau is included. Macau is described as first being named City with the Name of the God of Macau and that the Chinese emperor gifted it to the Portuguese in 1557 as an acknowledgment for help against pirate attacks in Guangzhou. It has 40.000 inhabitants and Timor is politically dependent of it. The buildings on the Macau map are represented geometrically as typical of a plan and are identified the Border Gate and the Forts. It can also be seen the Green Island, Wanzai and the north part of the islands of Taipa.
