Farm survey diagrams from land grants in the (Dutch) Cape of Good Hope contain essential bits of information about where farmers were active.

Images of many diagrams can be downloaded from the website of the Surveyor General in South Africa csg.drdlr.gov.za, but these are meant to document the present situation, so the first or early grants are often not available. In rare cases the information stretches back to times of the (early) Dutch VOC Cape of Good Hope.

This is far from complete.. my focus is on the Cape Town District, Tulbagh, Worcester, Hexriver, Ceres and Bokkeveld.
