Hello RGJ

Try www.facebook.com/groups/AngloBoerWar/ - there a number of South Africans on there with a big interest in blockhouses. I suspect they could guide you to a good map.

The best account I know of is The Blockhouse System In The South African War by Bt.-Colonel E. H. Bethell, D.S.O., R.E. which was published as Paper XII in Professional Papers Of The Corps Of Royal Engineers, Vol XXX, 1904. This includes a very large folding map showing blockhouse lines and posts at the end of 1902 and also 16 plates illustrating blockhouse types and their construction.
