The map
Allanridge is a town on the Free State goldfields of South Africa, part of the cluster of settlements that grew up in the mid-twentieth century around deep-level gold mining. The land is flat highveld, and from above the town looks like a single planned unit: residential streets laid out deliberately, surrounded by open veld and the large, clean-edged footprints of mining land.
The street plan is more orderly than an older organic town. Curving residential roads and regular blocks sit within a clear boundary, and a few main routes connect to the neighbouring goldfields towns. Mine dumps and industrial sites form distinct blank or geometric shapes on the map, which gives a black-and-white print more contrast than the size of the town would suggest.
Allanridge's story is bound up with the goldfields economy, and the landscape still carries the marks of that industry. An Allanridge map poster records a mid-century company-town plan on the highveld, with its streets, open land and the shapes left by mining.
Streets were laid out as a whole rather than growing piece by piece, so the town has a coherent, deliberate pattern with a well-defined edge.
Around the residential area, former and working mine land appears as large geometric blocks, a strong contrast to the fine lines of the streets.
The flat grassland surrounding the town leaves generous empty space on the poster, isolating the street plan like a diagram.
