Some of the older names are apparent in this old french map. Can you see something missing between  Heidelberg and Pretoria?                                                                                                                                                                                                                          There is no date on this map but if you look carefully you should be able to place it's edition in the late 19th century.

Note: The longitudes are referenced to the Paris meridian ! (Not Greenwich)
