Map of Africa: The Colony of Good Hope, 1817 - A Vibrant Depiction of Early Settlement and Cautionary Warnings This map, titled "Map of Africa: The Colony of Good Hope," dates back to 1817, offering a fascinating glimpse into the early exploration and colonization of South Africa. The map, published by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history and intrigue of this period. At the heart of the map lies the Colony of Good Hope, the British possession established in 1652. The map meticulously outlines the various territories, rivers, and mountains in the region, including the Orange River and the Bokkeveld Mountains. The Orange River, marked with a cautionary symbol, carries an important warning: "Sea Cows (Hippopotami) in the River." This serves as a reminder of the unique and often dangerous wildlife that inhabited the area, posing a threat to the early settlers. Beyond the borders of the colony, the map reveals the vast wilderness of the Boshiesmans or Hottentots, a Khoekhoe-speaking people indigenous to the region. Their lands are depicted as untamed and unexplored, a stark contrast to the more settled areas of the colony. The map's title, "Map of Africa: The Colony of Good Hope," underscores the dichotomy between the developing European settlement and the vast, untamed African wilderness that surrounded it. This map is an essential historical document, providing valuable insights into the geography, exploration, and early European settlement of South Africa. Its intricate details and cautionary warnings serve as a reminder of the challenges and discoveries that shaped the history of this fascinating region.
