| Summary: | The main objective of this paper is to approach how the economic impulses of livestock have influenced the stretch along the BR-429 and noticeable aspects of this influence the landscape. The research methodology involved literature and field research, for the landscape reading, using GPS, adapting the methodology for classification of land use, proposed by the IBGE (2006). Procedures generate points for interpolation and regionalization of activity, besides existing infrastructure survey. Cattle ranching in Rondônia has emerged as major economic development activity, projecting the state abroad, in terms of meat exporting. This situation not only mobilizes large investments, as well as large areas, since it occurs in the country a reallocation of this activity before more connected to the south and midwest, to less desirable areas of the Amazon. This spatial reorganization has been followed by transforming activities such as fridges and tanning, which combined with the government agencies, are setting and / or resetting the landscape, by the insertion of new technical objects and the refunctionalisation of the preexisting ones.
