Gazetteer of Rhodesian Place Names

This gazetteer is based on place names as they appear on the 1973 Rhodesia Relief Map 1 : 1 000 000 scale as shown below and on the main Maps page.

To limit the time spent on the task, a grid has been used based on the latitude and longitude lines shown on the original map. These have been marked A to I and 1 to 8 along each border as will be seen on the map below.  Click on the map and then again to zoom in for a detailed view. As an example, Nyamandhlovu will be found in square D5. When time permits the grid squares will be split further into four to make searching easier.  Whilst all man-made features should be listed, only the more important of the many rivers and hill features are included. Except where the name clearly explains the place listed, a description is shown in the Notes column below.  Please watch out for places adjacent to grid lines; places are included in the square in which they fall although the name may appear in the neighbouring square. Some features, such as rivers, often straddle more than one square.  There are nearly 1 000 places listed which have been extracted as carefully as possible but any user noting an error or omission is invited to contact me so that a correction can be made. The gazetteer will be extended in due course to include districts, tribal trust lands (TTLs) and African Purchase Lands.
