Add "brazil" to your list of $mapfil (eg $mapfil=brazil+base).
Brazil is defined as a map alias in $GEMTBL/config/mapfil.tbl for histbr.uni,
so you could specify that instead of "brazil" in $mapfil.

I put that in there a while back when I was working with your question on 
topography.
The data set alias I used in that was "topo" which I had temporarily defined in 
$GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl as your topography file I was working with. You 
could
add that as needed.

> How to use it using gdplot3 ?

If you have your topography grid file, with grid "topo" at level 0, coordinate 
none, type
"restore $NMAP_RESTORE/modl/topo/brtopo" in gdplot3. Feel free to modify this 
file as you see
fit. It was just something I put in a while back while I was answering your 
support
question about your topography grid file. The restore file will set the basic 
contour
intervals and grid parameter that is expected.
