 I am pleased to announce that a map book of KZN with all of the district and local roads is now available. The book comprises 72 pages. A key of the pages is shown to the left, while an example of  page 53 [Midmar and west of PMB] is shown below. [The PDF pages are actually much clearer than this eaxmple].

The maps are based on the SGO's 1:250 000 topo-cadastral maps with road data as sourced from the KZN Dept. of Transport website overlaid. Pentads with labels are included as well as the protected areas.

The district roads and gravel "P"-class road are all labelled.

The pages are available in Adobe's PDF format, which means that all text on the overlays [D and gravel P road numbers, protected area and pentad labels] is "searchable" in Adobe Reader. Size of the files range from 733 to 2,073 KB.

While these maps cannot be used to accurately determine pentad boundaries, they are very useful for planning purposes, especially with regard to the public roads [these latter data were dated November 2010].

Email me or contact me on this blog should you require any of these maps. Thanks to Alan Manson to spurring me on to actually produce this set in PDF format and making it available here.
