His account describes obtaining specimens near the Bagobone River beneath the Cashan mountains, now the Magaliesberg region of South Africa; the zoological appendix also associates the species with the Limpopo and Mariqua rivers. The plate is a natural-history study rather than an identified river view, so its geographic scope is described as southern African.

Drawn from Harris’s hunting expedition of 1836–37, it places his travels within a changing political landscape: Boer settlement was advancing into the interior while Mzilikazi’s Ndebele kingdom remained a major regional power. Its coverage extends beyond modern South Africa into parts of Botswana, southern Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and includes the areas now forming Lesotho and Eswatini. Historical names and imperfect river geography reflect information available in 1837, rather than modern national boundaries. The Kalahari, Limpopo, Kuruman and Delagoa Bay provide geographic reference points. This map accompanied the 1844 fourth edition and retains John Murray’s imprint of 29 June 1839; May 1837 in the title dates the mapped information. Its expedition route is highlighted in pink.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54345081520475,"sku":"P-6-112526","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112526a.jpg?v=1791906492"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/limpopo.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
