Fragmentary map of Cape Government Railways / The Royal Mail Route to the Orange River Colony, Transvaal, and Rhodesia. The map was printed by McCorquodale Ltd., Map Engravers, London. The map shows the principal railways in British possessions in Southern Africa including the Cape Colony, the Orange River Colony, Natal, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) to the borders of Northern Rhodesia (Zambia). The territory is bordered to the north by ‘Portuguese possessions’ (Mozambique). A list of places mentioned on the map is included. Several ink-stamps of the ‘Vicariate, Eastern District, Cape of Good Hope’ are extant on the map.

The map is badly torn along fold marks and is in two separate pieces. Careful manual handling is required.
