Note:

This is a plan of the city of Macau with buildings being represented geometrically. The whole map was produced from an aerial perspective, depicting streets and mountain peaks in the city of Macao. On the bottom part the legend identifies 58 important places and the map describes the prosperity of Macau. From the left to the right on the top part of the map there are 5 insets of the floor plans of Guia Fortress, São Tiago da Barra Fortress, Mount Fortress, Fortress of Our Lady of Bom Parto and San Francisco Fortress. Inset 6 is in aid for anchorage on the Typa Island so some soundings are given for Macao Inner Harbor, Small and Big Typa and Coloane.
