This is a large size plan of the Macau Peninsula which highlights the new landfills at north and on the Outer Harbor. The representation of buildings on the city is geometrical, typical of a plan. According to the legend, are marked State buildings, Municipal buildings, Police stations, Fire stations, water bodies and post boxes. However, there are also marked the Guia Lighthouse -to which is given the latitude and longitude, on the informational cartouche on the bottom right corner of the map- and beacons. The two insets work as a comparition of the evolution of the outline of the Macau Peninsula. The first one represents Macau in 1840 and the second is of Macau and neighbouring territories - Ilha da Lapa [Wanzai], Ilha D. João and Ilha Tai Vong Cam [today unified to form Hengqin], Taipa and Coloane.
