Bethulie

A map of South Africa detailing the Bethulie area published by Wood and Ortlepp in February 1900. This colored map is paper reinforced with cotton, folded and bound like a book with a red cotton covered card. This map is part of a series of other topographic maps detailing surrounding areas in South Africa compiled by John Wood for the Field Intelligence Department Cape Town. A reference guide is located on the right side of the map indicating roads, rivers, hills, pans, railways, telegraph lines, farm boundaries and fences, divisional boundaries, homesteads, cultivated lands, trees, and mines. Above the reference guide is an index of adjoining sheets which shows the relation of the present map with the other maps in the collection series. There are two scales, located at the base, indicating one inch per 3.94 miles and one inch to 6945 yards.
