Map Showing Swakopmund and Walvis Bay



One of the first satellites took this picture of the Namib Desert: showing Swakopmund and the river holding the dunes to the south bank of the river, the salt pans and Walvis Bay with Pelican Point and the Kuiseb river as well as Sandwich Harbour





Goanikontes: Dixon’s home which Jane and Rebecca (Becky) built.

Sandfontein: Dixon built a house where there was ample water in 1844 but later the water dimished.

Rooibank was an oasis with palm trees. It was a native settlement. Scheppman, the missionary, came here in 1846 and it was later named after him. Dixon also had a house here and shuttled between Goani-kontes and Rooi-bank. Dixon’s house at Rooibank was washed away when the Kuiseb came down in unprecendented flood on 24th January and 21st February, 1852 and on 25th February, 1852 the Kuiseb broke through to the sea.
