Info: Field Maps of the Transvaal published during the Boer War.
Compiled in the Surveyor General's Office-Pretoria under the direction of Major H.M.Jackson. Revised September 1901. From Transvaal & Natal Government Farm Surveys, as well as from the Boundary Survey of Zululand.
The Maps cover the whole of the Transvaal Republic, Northern Natal, Zululand and Swaziland, and the western part of British Bechuanaland.
Cartographically it is a fine example of a compilation map executed for military purposes under conditions of extreme urgency in a foreign area devoid of a trigonometrical base. The compilation was done from available farm and mining surveys as corrected and supplemented by information gathered by the No 1. Survey Section which was sent to South Africa by the War Office, and various officers in the field. The
method of reproduction used was lithography, and subsequently photolithography. By December 1900 the whole series was completed and during the ensuing months most of the sheets were repeatedly revised, many as much as up to six or seven times. Initiated to
serve urgent military demands, the publication of the series was discontinued after the cessation of hostilities.
