The early images show main roads cutting through the forest. Highway 421 snakes through the forest south-southwest from the city of Ariquemes, and Highway 364 runs roughly north to south through Ariquemes. More roads branch out from the main ones to create the fishbone pattern. As time goes on, a patchwork of cleared areas, forest remnants, and settlements is left behind.
