This map was drawn by W. Wily of the 83rd Regiment during the Kaffir Wars of the eastern colony. It covers the region from Algoa Bay/Cape Recife inland to the Great Fish River, and includes a descriptive paragraph of this river at top. The mountainous topography is well-represented via hachuring, and the legend provides a key to military posts, troop quarters, villages, and more. Decorated by fancy titling at lower left and engraved by J. Walker.
