One of the structural issues related to the African culture in Brazil that still merits research and investigation is related to the historiographic and geographic aspects of formation and distribution of the population of African descent in Brazil. This paper recovers the main cartography and geographic references in the works of the writer Jorge Amado and uses as places of research the spatial representations of the State of Bahia, particularly the city of São Salvador da Bahia or Cidade da Bahia, with their known spaces in his works such like : the Pillory, the hill of the Cover-Black, Pier Salvador, Itapuã, Amaralina Pituba, Farol da Barra, the hill of the Church of Bonfim, Peripiri, among other parts of this urban pool, marked by African references. As basic tools we use the resources of cartographic and photographic images, due to their possibilities of being effective in knowledge and apprehension of content and contemporary historiography. The study identifies that without the "Geography of the City of Bahia," the Jorge Amado literature never be the same, say, the city of Salvador territory, strongly marked in the first half of the twentieth century, for an African identity in daily well-defined city, even in the context of socio-spatial exclusion and secular system of slavery prejudice.
