The Cederberg: Beautiful, Detailed Map of South Africa's Majestic Cederberg Mountain District
Back in 1975 Peter
Slingsby published the "first edition" of this Cederberg map. There were only 11
places to stay in the Cederberg region in those days ... now there are nearly 150. The Cederberg weaves
a particular magic unlike any other mountains in South Africa: explore and find
the magic for yourself with this radically upgraded 7th edition. This Cederberg map is A1-length, double-sided full-colour and FULLY WATERPROOF map
and provided in its plastic sleeve.
This beautiful map (should say work of art) is the first fully-comprehensive map of the Cederberg ever published, and
is the only detailed Tourist map of the area. Compiled from comprehensive field
research and with the sound advice of more than a dozen local experts, it is an
absolutely essential companion to any exploration of the fabulous Cederberg area.
The scale of the main Cederberg Map is 1:160 000 or 6.25cm = 10 km.
The main map covers the whole of the Cederberg, from Op die Berg in the south to GIFBERG in the north, and includes the towns of Clanwilliam, Citrusdal, Piketberg, Wupperthal, Porterville and Eendekuil. Beautifully contoured at 20m intervals, the map shows all roads in the area characterised from National Highways down to 4x4 routes. The condition of minor roads in wet and dry weather is indicated. The map also shows all tourist facilities in the area from hotels to campsites, as well as the boundaries of the Wilderness Area, conservancies, etc.
