International and Provincial boundaries and names are boldly displayed. The hitherto invisible dormitory settlements attached to towns are displayed. This map may prove to be our most successful wall map yet.

	Historical Maps The first maps ever produced by this organisation (then know as the Trigonometrical Survey Office (or Trig Survey) were produced in the early 1930's and comprised 4 sheets of the Cape Peninsula area at a scale of 1:25 000. These sheets have now been reprinted in commemoration of Surveys and Mapping's 80th Anniversary celebrations and should prove very popular to anybody interested in the history of Cape Town. The maps are exact copies of the originals and certainly will generate a lot of interest as people compare the situation now with that of 70 years ago The maps are on sale at R20 a sheet. Cape Peninsula - Sheet I Cape Peninsula - Sheet II Cape Peninsula - Sheet III Cape Peninsula - Sheet IV
