The present paper discusses the experience of using geotechnologies and a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) to provide visibility and techno-political support to a community threatened with eviction. Focusing on the land titling and housing regularization in the community of Banhado (São José dos Campos - SP), this article seeks to present multifaceted reflections, especially in terms of social cartography and its power both to counteract hegemonic narratives and to assist the construction of planning alternatives. By allowing a broader look at the community, the tools and methodologies used have contributed to reveal an invisible territory in official state cartography and to provide a detailed cartography to residents, so that they can observe the destruction of their territory by the state apparatus and, at the same time, they also can propose an alternative project to the area that guarantees their rights and sovereignty over their own territory.
