Mokolo River
The Mokolo River crosses the district and gives a natural line to a map that is otherwise dominated by roads, plots and the flat Waterberg plain.

The map
Lephalale, known as Ellisras until 2002, lies in the far west of Limpopo, near the Botswana border. On a map it looks less like a single town and more like a group of settlements: the older centre, the planned suburb of Onverwacht and the township of Marapong, joined by long roads across flat bushveld. The Mokolo River runs through the area.
The town grew around coal. The Waterberg coalfield lies beneath the surrounding plain, and Lephalale is home to two of South Africa's largest power stations, Matimba and Medupi. Their sites, together with the mine next to them, make some of the biggest geometric shapes on the map, set against the irregular tracks of game farms and bush.
A Lephalale map poster records that unusual layout: residential grids and cul-de-sacs, wide gaps between them, and industrial blocks on the horizon. The scale feels open, as it does on the ground. Distances are long, and the bushveld is never far from any street.
The Mokolo River crosses the district and gives a natural line to a map that is otherwise dominated by roads, plots and the flat Waterberg plain.
The older centre, Onverwacht and Marapong sit apart from one another, linked by long connecting roads, so the town reads as several distinct clusters.
Matimba and Medupi, with the adjacent coal mine, occupy large regular footprints that stand out as the heaviest shapes on the Lephalale poster.

Why Lephalale
Many people come to Lephalale for work on the power stations and mines and end up staying for years. A map of the town marks that chapter: the suburb where you lived, the road to site and the bushveld around it.
Put your family name, a project or a start date in the title, and add coordinates if you like. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint for an engineering feel, or Sand to echo the bushveld.
