The following article proposes an update of the geographic information present in Law nº 0171/94 that created and delimited the municipality of Vitória do Jari. The update proposal is associated with the hydrographic characteristics of the southern region of the State of Amapá and was based on Law No. 311/1938, which provides for the territorial division of the country. The city's descriptive memorial contains geographic features that refer to water bodies without nominal information and with inadequate scales. During this research, it will be evidenced that there is a contradiction in the territorial information provided for by law and those defined by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) for the year 2020. IBGE’s cartographic data indicates that the municipality of Vitória do Jari has a territorial area equivalent to 2,508,979 km² and the proposed new polygonal in the municipality corresponds to an area of 2,483,870 km². This research showed the identification of some streams that were not included at the time of the emancipation of the municipality of Vitória do Jari, such as the Arapiranga stream and the Pacas stream. In addition, the proposal for a new polygonal can assist in the territorial planning of the municipality and contribute to the updating of geographic information present in the descriptive memorial of the city of Vitória do Jari.Downloads
