While browsing through my notes and papers I came across this old map of the KRUGER NATIONAL PARK, going back to the 1960s. It has really brought back very fond memories.

The cover.

with the route of our first visit during August 1967 still faintly visible



and some of the contenrts -

That is a great find GML.

I would give an arm and a leg to own it.

Great post, thanks.

I also have one like that - very precious to me!!

What an awesome item to have. Love the illustrations especially this one


love the sign
What a treasure.... Thanks for sharing gmlsmit how much do you want for it?
You have one too naomi c

Great stuff I have a huge old map on the wall of my office which dates back before 1945, because my home town Welkom, which was only proclaimed in 1945, does not appear on the map. On top of the map the following appears;

"The Union of South Africa including Southern and Northern Rhodesia and Bechuanaland Protectorate"

It also gives the approximate number people in all the major towns, and it shows Nelspruit with an estimated white population of 1200!

I will try and get a pic of the Kruger area and post it here.

Please post a pic Rooies, would love to see it, please try include a bit of Nelspruit/White River, I believe there are now thousands of people in that area, not 1200!!!!

Thanks very much for showing us such a beautifull old map gmlsmit .

This map was also given away with the book The Kruger Park and other national parks by RJ Labuschagne published in the 1960's.

Thebi, maybe this is could be where I got mine.
Oom Lappies was a very knowledgable and intresting man.
My copy of the mentioned book is one of my proud collection.

It has many interesting articles and historical photographs of places and people and fauna and flora.
