"A Military Sketch of That Part of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope, Bordering on the Caffres and Most Exposed to Their Depredations...", Faden, William

This map was drawn by W. Wily of the 83rd Regiment during the Kaffir Wars of the eastern colony. It covers the region from Algoa Bay/Cape Recife inland to the Great Fish River, and includes a descriptive paragraph of this river at top. The mountainous topography is well-represented via hachuring, and the legend provides a key to military posts, troop quarters, villages, and more. Decorated by fancy titling at lower left and engraved by J. Walker.
