It is important to emphasize on the excellent structure and equipment that the unit offers, but most services, products recommended by the Health Minister are not realized, corresponding to a total of 46%. We do not have some administrative-organizational activities, for example, the coverage map of the enrolled area population. Considering the territorial as the health unit work and health surveillance, and the need of access health indicators and better utilization of the services, the use of the maps is very important in order to plan the actions. The aim was to propose an intervention Project to build of the coverage area map. The purpose of this is to draw up an action plan in order to redefine theterritory covered by the Rio Manso FHS. The project of mapping the territory was carried out by three operations: More Know; Knowing Our Earth and Map Making, considering the critical nodes: level of knowledge, incomplete territorialização and lack of territorial correlation with risk factors and team actions. Recognition through the map of the coverage area and exact definition of risk is fundamental to the organization's assistance and projection of future actions
