Map of Atalaia

I've had several people ask me to provide a map showing the location of Atalaia and the region we visited.   Some of you may have stumbled upon the beautiful, coastal, resort town of Atalaia in the state of Pará; Brin wanted me to assure everyone that we are NOT referring to that Atalaia.

  

The first map shows where the area is in relation to all of Brazil, the second is the detailed area in the red box.

 

I've tried to identify a few important cities on the map below. 

The blue region is Brazil, pink is Peru and beige is Colombia. 1)  Atalaia do Norte - the city we visited and would potential have our base, 2)  Benjamin Constant - 30 min. by road from Atalaia, because of it's size (30,000) it offers a large variety of supplies and would be an important because of it's proximity to Atalaia, 3) Tabatinga -  30 min. by boat from Benjamin, the largest Brazilian city in the area (50,000), has an airport with daily flights to Manaus, 4)  Leticia - a Colombian city just across the border from Tabatinga.  

Note that the Amazon flows from the interior of Peru, then cuts between Benjamin Constant and Tabatinga, and then continues off the map to the east.  The border of Peru and Brazil is marked by the Javari river, upon which we traveled, stopping at communities on both sides of the border.
