About this Graaff Reinet map poster
Graaff-Reinet, founded in 1786, is one of the oldest towns in South Africa, and its setting is one of the clearest on any map. The Sundays River loops around the town in a tight horseshoe bend, so the historic centre is almost enclosed by water on three sides, with the mountains of the Karoo rising beyond.
Inside the bend the streets form a regular grid, broad enough for the ox-wagons of the town's early years. Many historic buildings survive, including the large Dutch Reformed church at the head of the main street, and the town has more heritage-listed buildings than almost anywhere else in the country.
A Graaff Reinet map poster captures the whole relationship between town and landscape. Camdeboo National Park surrounds the town, including the Valley of Desolation, where dolerite columns look over the plains. On paper the river's curve, the neat grid and the open Karoo make a composition that needs no embellishment.

Historic grid
Wide, regular streets laid out in the late eighteenth century still structure the centre, lined by preserved Cape Dutch and Victorian buildings.
Camdeboo surroundings
The national park encircles the town, and its hills and the Valley of Desolation give the map an open, mountainous frame.

Why Graaff Reinet
A map that means something
Graaff-Reinet draws people back: those who grew up in the Karoo, travellers who stopped for one night and stayed three, couples married in its old churches. The map records a town that has kept its shape for more than two centuries.
