Note:
|
The map depicts a stylized built-up area typical of a plan. It has a legend on the right bottom corner underneath the title that identifies 10 toponyms. The Border Gate; the Green Island as being used by the Jesuits; the Chinese village Wangxia -here unnamed-; the A-Ma Temple -named only as 'Pagode Chinoise'. However the most detail is given to military information such as where the vessels are built in Wanzai; the location of the harbours; the major fortification of the Monte -here named Nossa Senhora de Monte-; the Barra fortress -named S. Iago & S. Philippe-; the Penha fortress -Nossa S.ra de Penha-; the bastion of Nossa S.ra do Bom Parto and the Guia fort -Nossa S.ra de Guia- where a lighthouse was built some years later.
