About this Thaba Nchu map poster
Thaba Nchu takes its name from the flat-topped mountain that rises beside it. In Sesotho and Setswana the name means black mountain. From above, the mountain is a large, bare shape at the edge of the map, and the town's streets and neighbourhoods spread across the flat land of the eastern Free State around it.
The settlement is loose rather than dense. It is made up of separate neighbourhoods and village sections connected by roads, with open space in between. The main road heads west toward Bloemfontein, about an hour away, and east toward Ladybrand and the border with Lesotho. The plains around it are open grassland and farmland.
In the nineteenth century, Thaba Nchu was the main settlement of the Barolong under Chief Moroka, and Voortrekker parties stopped here on their way north in the 1830s. Later it was part of the homeland of Bophuthatswana. A Thaba Nchu map poster shows a town whose shape reflects a long and complex history.

Road to Bloemfontein
The main route runs west toward the provincial capital. It forms the key line that connects Thaba Nchu with the wider region.
