The map
Oudtshoorn lies in the Klein Karoo, a semi-arid valley between mountain ranges, and its map shows a town laid out along the Grobbelaars River. The streets form a broad, open grid, with wide roads that suit a dry landscape. Beyond the town, fields follow the river valleys, where water makes farming possible in otherwise dry country.
The town is known as the centre of ostrich farming, and in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the ostrich feather boom brought great wealth. Grand sandstone houses built during that period, often called feather palaces, still stand in the town. Ostrich farms remain part of the landscape around Oudtshoorn today.
North of the town, the Swartberg range rises steeply, with the Cango Caves in its foothills and the Swartberg Pass crossing the mountains. An Oudtshoorn map poster captures a town between river and mountain, where open fields and wide streets reflect both the dry climate and the prosperity of an unusual agricultural boom.
The river runs along the edge of the town, with fields following its course, a green line in the dry Klein Karoo that shaped where Oudtshoorn could grow.
Around the town, large farm parcels and roads mark the land used for ostrich farming, the industry that made Oudtshoorn famous a century ago.
To the north, contours rise toward the Swartberg range and the Cango Caves, closing the map with a strong mountain edge.

Why Oudtshoorn
Oudtshoorn suits anyone with memories of the Klein Karoo: a childhood on a farm, a visit to the Cango Caves or a week at the town's arts festival. The map records the quiet order of a Karoo town.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can hold a family name, a date or a farm. Five styles are available, and Sand fits the dry landscape especially well, while Noir makes the grid stand out against dark ground.
