Commonwealth Scholar, Dr Richard Wood, probably the world’s leading historian on Rhodesian political and military history, has been kind enough to mention that he is a regular user of  the maps on this site.  Those with similar interests may care to know that I have listed several of his books on the Recommended Reading page

Copies of Maps

I have had a number of requests for copies of various maps and other images.  I have had my own originals professionally scanned on a large format scanner (at no little expense!) so that I can present what you see on my web site.  The original scans are not available for sale. Most of the maps posted on the site are of a fairly high resolution and can be downloaded and should print reasonably well. However they would require a large format printer to print from. If you could find such a printer nearby, you would do best simply to download the map and ask them to print it but that might not be cheap for a one off.  Although, if you would be happy with A3 size, you could probably find an A3 size printer fairly easily and this might not be too costly. My other suggestion, for those who seek a good quality printed map of Rhodesia, is that you consider obtaining a copy of the Land Tenure Map an example of which you can see near the top of this page.

The Rhodesian Services Association, based in New Zealand, has had a batch of the land tenure maps printed at a reasonable cost. This map is very colourful and was used widely throughout Rhodesia.  If you click on my example, you will see the amazing amount of detail shown.

Only $60 NZ.  I think it will most likely be sent rolled in a tube. This what they say:
“This is a wonderful reproduction from an old [1977] map. It shows in detail the areas of European farming, TTL, APA, forest, National Park, rivers etc. This has been produced from a high grade scan and is far better quality and value than a similar item on the market. Measures 740mm x 670mm.”  And this is where to buy it: https://www.rhodesianservices.org/posters.htm

If you decide to buy one, please do mention my name or web site – although I get no commission!
