The map
About this Upington map poster
Upington sits on the northern bank of the Orange River in the Northern Cape, at the edge of the Kalahari. From above, the contrast is striking: a narrow band of irrigated land follows the river, split by channels and islands, while beyond it the open desert stretches out with only roads and a few tracks crossing it.
The river makes the town possible. Vineyards, many of them producing grapes for raisins and wine, line the irrigated strip for long distances upstream and downstream, and the island just outside town is known for an avenue of date palms. The street layout itself is regular, with a compact centre close to the water and residential districts extending away from it.
Upington's airport has one of the longest runways in the world, a detail that appears as a long straight line on the map. An Upington map poster shows a place defined by water in a dry country, where every green field and every street follows the course of the river.

Vineyard strip
Irrigated vineyards follow the river in a narrow band, their neat rows and plots set sharply against the open, sparsely marked Kalahari ground around them.
Long airport runway
On the edge of town, the airport runway stretches almost five kilometres, a single unbroken line that ranks among the longest runways in the world.
