The river tributaries should be shown but their names are not important, apart from the Batshe River (formely known as the Bashee) (centre middle) which should be named. The one right at the bottom (that runs off the map, turns northwards and forks) is the Mangeni River
The red dot to the left is the British supply base at
Rorke's Drift
The red dot in the lower centre is the camp at
Isandlwana.
The smaller red dot in the upper right is the British camp the night before the action, to the right and below it is Sihayo's Kraal, the object of the attack
The brown line running through Natal and Rorke's Drift and into Zululand is a track
Would be good to show the mountains in relief if possible. The names are not important (the range at the top is the "Ingqutu Range", the one just above the central British camp is "Isandlwana", the one to the bottom left corner is known today as "Malakatha Mountain", the one to the right of that is "Hlazakazi Mountain".
The red dashes are the movement of the main British force before and after the battle.
Orange is the movement of the 1/24th regiment during the battle, yellow is 2/24th regiment, green is the NNC (
Natal Native Contingent), blue is the British mounted contingent
Hopefully something can be done. It would be great to illustrate a new article I am writing on th action -

There is a high quality map
here which may be of use. Although it has the website's name plastered over it, the relevant area is unaffected. Map made in 1879. (

Done Hi
Hohum, good find. That image you've provided should make a great base for a new map. Unless some expert jumps out the woodwork to do a professional job, I'll look at bodging something up myself in the next few days. Cheers -

Can you please make the black dots in the correct position in the Winter Olympics file (the latter one)? Thanks --
