| ID notes: | This information was valid as at the end of 1999. |
| | A variety of sources of information were used to demarcate the boundaries on these maps. Boundaries of the |
| | Tsumeb and Mangetti farms were taken from digitised cadastral maps of farms, global positioning systems were |
| | used to record the boundaries of some resettlement farms in Ohangwena, as well as Okashana. Other boundaries |
| | of government and resettlement farms were traced off aerial photographs or sketch maps. Boundaries of large, |
| | ‘informally fenced’ farms in Omusati and Oshana were mapped from an aeroplane using a global positioning |
| | system, while the outer boundary of the large fenced area in Oshikoto was drawn after extensive aerial mapping |
| | (aeroplane using a global positioning system) of the many fenced areas. Communal grazing areas were |
| | demarcated as those outside the most densely populated zones. |
