Over time, the landscape of the municipality of Celso Ramos was shaped by natural and anthropic factors. The objective of this dissertation was to analyze the historical and socioenvironmental aspects of this territory, located at the confluence of the Canoas and Pelotas rivers, in the plateau of the State of Santa Catarina. The municipality has vegetations that were intensely altered by the human occupation - by natives, caboclos and, above all, settlers of Italian origin. The methodology applied in this work was Environmental History, and as sources, were used newspapers, maps, legislation, reports, notary offices, photographs. Through Oral History, the memories and perceptions of local residents were observed. Through this analysis, we noticed the anthropogenic changes that occurred in the environment. Understanding the uses of
natural resources, will allow reflections for a possible preservation or conservation of the remnants of flora, fauna and rivers in the area of this study.Ao longo do tempo, a paisagem do munic?pio de Celso Ramos foi configurada por fatores naturais e antr?picos.
