Abstract: The article characterizes the natural environment in the Pará Amazon considering the spatial configuration as a delimiting aspect of spatial transformations. The reflection extends from 1616, the year of foundation of the city of Belém, until 1966, the beginning of “Operation Amazon”, covering a set of state actions that reinvent the region as a frontier of resources. We base ourselves on the social theory of space as a succession and coexistence of geographic environments, which allowed us to delineate moments in which the spatial configuration had strong indigenous traits, another marked by the colonial presence and a third in which state action is decisive. For that, we carried out a literature review with the purpose of reconstituting traces of this historical geography of the Amazon and it is in this field that we place this work.
