The map
Postmasburg lies in the Northern Cape of South Africa, in dry country on the edge of the Kalahari. It is a mining town with a long association with iron ore and manganese. Large open-pit operations in the surrounding district have shaped the local economy and appear on maps as broad, sharply defined areas of disturbed ground.
The town has a regular street pattern, with long straight roads and generous blocks typical of South African country towns. Newer residential areas extend from the older core, some with tighter, repetitive layouts. The railway and regional roads that serve the mines run out across the flat, sparsely vegetated land in long, uninterrupted lines.
A Postmasburg map poster shows a town defined by open ground. The grid sits in the centre, surrounded by wide stretches of empty land. Rail lines and haul roads run in straight lines toward the mining areas. It is a sparse, strongly graphic image that suits people who have lived and worked in this remote part of the Northern Cape.
The older part of Postmasburg follows a clear rectilinear pattern of long parallel streets, easy to read and typical of towns laid out on open land.
Railway lines and service roads leave the town in straight runs toward the surrounding mining operations, cutting precise lines across the semi-desert.
Around the built area, the map shows very little besides occasional tracks, reflecting the dry, open country of the Northern Cape.
