I suggest
- post this message to MapHist and specify your query a bit more: What kind
of maps? For what kind of study you need the information. There is of course
a lot of literature on those maps.
- according to Who's who in the History of Cartography (D7) (D8 is published
yet, but I don't have it here at home) the mapping of Brazil is one of  the
research subjects of Alfredo Pinheiro Marques, Faculdade de Letras,
Universidade de Coimbra, 3049 Coimbra Codex, Portugal. I think he works on
the Portuguese maps of Brazil.
- on the Dutch maps of Brazil a work is done by Dutch maphistorians,
recently a.o. by Dirk de Vries and Kees Zandvliet. A lot of information is
to be found in works on the Van Keulen firm and on the Dutch East- and West
India Companies etc.
