The Diamond Diggings of South Africa: A Personal and Practical Account (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Excerpt from The Diamond Diggings of South Africa: A Personal and Practical Account

This is only a sketch-map, drawn with approximate accuracy, to aid in the comparison of the different routes from the sea coast to the Fields, and the principal stopping places. The only rivers that are here represented with accuracy are those in the immediate vicinity of the Fields, viz., the Vaal, Orange, Modder, Riet and Hart. There are numerous rivers in the lower part of the colony which are not shown in this map.

The red lines indicate the postal routes, which are generally also followed by the passenger-waggons.
