Bahia

Territorial divisions and highways

Bahia has 417 municipalities across 565,000 km², 6.6 per cent of Brazil. IBGE groups them into 34 immediate regions, drawn around the towns that supply jobs, trade and services to their surroundings, and into 10 intermediate regions that tie those networks together. Feira de Santana is the intermediate region with the most municipalities (83); Juazeiro, the one with the fewest (18). The largest municipality is Formosa do Rio Preto (15,634 km²); the smallest, Madre de Deus (33 km²). Part of the series “Brazil, state by state”: a clean base, with official boundaries and the road network, to start a map without losing the first afternoon gathering files.

Distrito Federal

Territorial divisions and highways

The Federal District is not divided into municipalities: in the IBGE mesh it is a single one, Brasília, with 5,761 km². On its own it is also one immediate region and one intermediate region. The smallest federative unit sits on the Central Plateau, between Goiás and Minas Gerais, and the radial federal highways, numbered BR-010 to BR-080, start from it.
