Details
Excellent, waterproof and tear-resistant, double-sided map of the coast of the Eastern Cape Province from East London to the KwaZulu-Natal border. The map is packed with every conceivable kind of tourist information, yet remains clear and easy to read. Road network is shown on a contoured base (interval 100m) with altitude colouring and spot heights for main hills. Eight different types of roads indicate surface, conditions in wet weather, and public access. Scenic routes are highlighted, petrol stations are marked and GPS waypoints are given for important junctions. Local tracks, recognized hiking routes and railways (with local stations) are also shown.
Symbols depict an enormous range of features: accommodation from hotels to tent camping, restaurants and picnic sites, arts and craft centres, game and bird watching sites, a wide range of sport and recreational sites and facilities, missions and churches, medical facilities, etc. On the coast itself, along with numeours accommodation and leisure facilities, sites of shipwrecks are indicated, with dates when sunk. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 5’ intervals.
An inset provides an overview of the main roads joining the coast with the N2 highway, whilst four enlargements show popular areas in greater detail: the Jikeleza Route with the Inkwenkwezi game reserve, the area around Morgan Bay and Kei Mouth, the coast around Coffee Bay, and the surroundings of Port St Johns. There is also a small inset of the Mgawa Falls. The map was researched and drawn by Peter Slingsby - renowned environmental educator and cartographer.
