Maps of colonial cities

[Einbauschrank]

Greeting, fellow Gentlemen!

I am in search of a contemporary (i.e.: 1904) map of the small town of Okahandja in German-Soutwestafrica. It should be a detailed map as I need to locate houses of Diekmann, Denker, Samuel and Barnabas, the railway station and of course the fortress. I've already located a very basic map in the Belrin archives, but it is only a beginning.

As always any help is much appreciated

Regards

Patrick

You may have to write an archive in present-day Namibia to get something that detailed. I can' t think of any books in English that I've come across that show maps of any great detail. You may be able to find something with a descriptive written narrative of the city that may help you somewhere. Don't limit yourself to strictly a visual map.
