Research notes
Eskom servitude map. Middelwater today: Gedeelte 4, Gedeelte 5 (Vaste Water), Gedeelte 6 (Avondrust), Restant. Servitude widths 23.5m and 15.5m; beacons are 20mm iron pegs in stone heaps at the pylons. Aapsrivier and Meiringspoort shown. [CORRECTED 30 Jul 2026] "23,5m" and "15,5m" are HALF-widths - the diagram reads "aan albei kante van" each line. Full widths are 47 m and 31 m, confirmed independently by the endorsement sheet DOC-0109 (diagram 6954/90). [30 Jul 2026] CARRIES A SURVEY COORDINATE TABLE, never previously transcribed. Verbatim: "KOORDINATE, Stelsel Lo 23 grade", Konstante Y +0,00 X +3 600 000,00; A Y+46 429,89 X+86 853,47; B Y+48 219,59 X+89 035,35; C Y+46 648,10 X+87 174,67; D Y+47 607,40 X+88 344,00; E Y+47 762,22 X+88 559,88; trig Droogekloof (377) Y+41 039,60 X+79 595,57; trig Meiringspoort (53) Y+49 738,95 X+97 446,46. Printed sides/bearings: AB 2 821,99 / 39 21 38; CD 1 512,48 / 39 21 54; DE 265,66 / 35 38 47. The coordinates reproduce all three sides and bearings exactly, so the transcription is self-checking.
