Planned street rows
Repeated rows of small plots and parallel streets give the township a very regular texture. It differs clearly from the organic growth of older towns.

The map
About this Dimbaza map poster
Dimbaza is near Qonce, formerly King William's Town, in the Eastern Cape. It was established in the 1960s as a resettlement township under apartheid, when people were forcibly moved into what later became the Ciskei homeland. The 1974 documentary Last Grave at Dimbaza brought the conditions here to international attention.
The map reflects that history. Unlike older towns in the region, Dimbaza was laid out in one planning effort. It has repeated rows of small plots, straight and gently curved streets, and clearly separated sections. Open veld surrounds the township, and the Amathole hills rise to the north, adding a darker, more irregular landscape around the settled area.
A Dimbaza map poster shows a place where the street layout itself records a period of South African history. It is also home to a community that has lived and built lives there for generations. The drawing shows both the planned pattern and the land around it.

Why Dimbaza
A map that means something
