The map
Cullinan lies east of Pretoria in Gauteng, South Africa, and it grew up around the Premier diamond mine. The town's layout is shaped by the mine itself: a small grid of streets on one side, and on the other the huge excavation known as the Big Hole, with mine works and dumps around it.
In 1905 the Cullinan Diamond was found here. At about 3,106 carats in its rough form, it remains the largest gem-quality diamond ever found. Stones cut from it are part of the British Crown Jewels. Mining has continued at Cullinan ever since.
A Cullinan map poster shows the compact old town streets, the roads leading toward Pretoria and the open land around the mine. It is a map of a small town that owes its existence to a single spot in the ground.
The open pit of the diamond mine is the town's most distinctive feature, a large, clearly defined shape beside the streets.
The historic mining village is laid out in a small, tidy grid of streets that sits close to the mine.
Around the town, the flat Gauteng highveld extends in every direction, crossed by roads leading west toward Pretoria.
