A Tourist Map of Rhodesia, issued in 1970 by MO Collins Ltd, captures the optimism and spectacle of Southern African travel at the dawn of mass motoring. It portrays Rhodesia—today’s Zimbabwe—with a confident blend of cartographic precision and pictorial flourish, inviting the eye along highways, rail lines, and scenic byways toward storied landscapes and wildlife sanctuaries. Major centers—Salisbury (now Harare), Bulawayo, Gwelo (Gweru), Fort Victoria (Masvingo), Umtali (Mutare), Que Que (Kwekwe), and Gatooma (Kadoma)—anchor the network, while cross-border gateways gesture toward Johannesburg and Pretoria in South Africa, Beira and Lourenço Marques (Maputo) in Mozambique, and Lusaka in Zambia. The result is both itinerary and icon: a touristic portrait of a country poised between high plateau, riverine escarpments, and lush eastern mountains.
The map’s geographical theater is richly staged. To the northwest, the Zambezi carves its monumental trench, culminating at Victoria Falls—an excursion line that every itinerary seems to honor—before opening into the vast inland sea of Lake Kariba, a marquee attraction for boating and fishing. South and east, the Limpopo and Save (Sabi) Rivers demarcate borders and lowveld, while the Eastern Highlands rise in cool, green tiers toward Nyanga and Chimanimani, promising misty forests and trout streams. Granite kopjes punctuate the country, nowhere more dramatically than the Matobo Hills near Bulawayo, whose contoured shading and named passes hint at hiking routes and storied viewpoints.
Urban cartography and travel planning are treated with equal care. Salisbury appears as the radiating hub, dispatching travelers along tarred arterial roads and rail spurs to Bulawayo, to Umtali and the port of Beira, and across the border toward the South African Rand. Mileage tables—neatly arrayed—translate the dream of distance into practical stages, turning the traverse from Fort Victoria to Great Zimbabwe’s stone acropolis or from Bulawayo to Wankie (Hwange) into a weekend certainty. Rail corridors parallel key highways, a reminder of the era’s blended modalities: overnight sleepers to frontier towns, day drives to game parks, and scenic detours plotted with almost editorial clarity.
Visual storytelling animates the sheet. Pictorial vignettes place elephant herds along Kariba’s shorelines, lion and sable antelope on the Kalahari fringes, and zebra on the central plateau; fish eagles wheel above blue-toned reservoirs, while baobabs and mopane define the lowveld, and msasa woodlands flame seasonally across the highveld. Decorative borders and cartouches frame these scenes with touristic élan, balancing artistry with orientation. Labels for national parks—Wankie, Matopos—and prominent reserves sit beside emblems of flora such as the flame lily, creating an atlas-page that doubles as a naturalist’s primer. The colorwork is at once instructive and evocative, letting wildlife and topography cue where the roads promise authentic encounters.
As a historical document, the map fixes a revealing moment in Southern African travel culture. Produced amid shifting geopolitics, it emphasizes routes, vistas, and heritage—Great Zimbabwe near Fort Victoria, the bridgeheads over the Zambezi, the upland resorts of the east—while quietly registering the period’s contested toponyms and borders. Its language of accessibility—miles counted, tracks traced, capitals connected—speaks to a regional imagination of overland exploration that linked Salisbury to Lusaka, Johannesburg, and the Indian Ocean. In MO Collins Ltd’s hands, tourism becomes cartographic argument: that the very act of movement knits together wildlife, ruins, mountains, and modern cities, leaving us with a rare, candid portrait of Rhodesia on the cusp of change.

Please double check the images to make sure that a specific town or place is shown on this map. You can also get in touch and ask us to check the map for you.
This map looks great at every size, but I always recommend going for a larger size if you have space. That way you can easily make out all of the details.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 100in (250cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
Please note: the labels on this map are hard to read if you order a map that is 16in (40cm) or smaller. The map is still very attractive, but if you would like to read the map easily, please buy a larger size.
The model in the listing images is holding the 24x36in (60x90cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, check out my collection of the best old maps to see if something else catches your eye.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
Algunos de mis mapas antiguos ahora están disponibles como lienzos enmarcados. Por favor contáctame si deseas pedir un tamaño que no está disponible en mi tienda.
Los mapas antiguos en lienzo son una alternativa interesante a los mapas enmarcados convencionalmente. Dependiendo de tu gusto personal y la decoración de la habitación, los mapas en lienzo pueden "destacar" un poco más que un mapa enmarcado.
Mis mapas son reproducciones de mapas originales de altísima calidad.
Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
Mis mapas están impresos en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) sin ácido que se siente de muy alta calidad y casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/grosor del papel es de 10 mil/200 g/m². Es perfecto para enmarcar.
Imprimo con tintas pigmentadas Epson ultrachrome giclée UV resistentes a la decoloración, algunas de las mejores tintas que puedes encontrar.
yo también puedo hacer mapas sobre lienzo, trapo de algodón y otros materiales exóticos.
