All our maps are reproduced from original 1:50 000 topographical sheets. This scale means 1 cm on the map equals 500 metres on the ground, giving excellent detail for navigation, research, and display.

Use the Map Search tool on our website. Click anywhere on the interactive map of Zimbabwe / Rhodesia, and it will identify the correct 1:50 000 sheet reference for that location. If available, you can then add it directly to your cart.

We offer three paper weights:

80g - A lightweight, economical option ideal for working copies and bulk orders.
180g - A thicker, more durable sheet suitable for desk reference and presentation.
230g - Our heaviest paper, recommended for premium display and archival handling.

Both are stretched canvas prints produced from our high-resolution scans. The Standard Canvas uses quality inkjet printing on a sturdy pre-stretched canvas. The Premium Canvas uses archival-grade canvas material with UV-resistant, fade-proof inks for superior colour depth and long-term durability.

No. We supply the printed canvas only. Our canvases are pre-stretched and ready to mount or hang. You are free to choose your own frame to match your décor.
