This map also shows the Caprivi Strip, a strategic corridor linking German Southwest Africa to the Zambizi River in what was then Rhodesia, and thereby access to the west coast of Africa and the territory of German East Africa. The map shows major cities, ports, trade centers, railroads, lakes, rivers, and mountains with summit elevations for prominent peaks. The traditional lands for major native tribes are also labeled.
