Cape Town and Surrounding Attractions from Map Studio, South Africa’s leading map publishers, with a general road map on one side, plus numerous street plans and descriptions of four special routes on the reverse.

The main map covers an area within reach as day trips from Cape Town, extending east to Swellendam and north to Langebaan. Road classification includes unsurfaced roads, intermediate driving distances on main and secondary roads, toll routes with gates, and mountain passes. Railways are shown with local stations. An impression of relief is provided by elevation tinting (perhaps somewhat confusing for regular map users - the higher the altitude, the greener the colour!), spot heights for main peaks, and names of mountain ranges. Nature and forest reserves, plus salt pans and marshes are indicated. Symbols mark local airfields, historical sites, caravan parks, many wine estates, selected hotels and other accommodation, whale watching and diving sites, and other places of interest. The map has an index of localities, and shows geographical coordinates as margin tick at 30’ of latitude and 1° of longitude.

Four suggested scenic routes: the Cape Winelands, the Breede River Valley, the Whale Route, and the Heart of Route 62 are described on the reverse of the map, with street plans at 1:20,000 for main town. Each street plan highlights museums and other places of interest, plus selected accommodation and services.

Also included is a street plan of central Cape Town itself at 1:17,500. In addition to the information provided on other street plans it also includes traffic lights and one way streets.
