As in Terra Brasilis (1519), most colonial maps of Brazil are marked by an evident contrast between a colonized East, named with European toponyms, and an unknown West, represented as a great continental void or an idyllic region full of riches and mythological creatures. This kind of reading of the territory is linked to the colonial imagery of the first bandeirantes invasions in central Brazil, who understood the West as an exotic and wild space that could be colonized.
