Dear Mr. Gagne,

>We are trying to locate a 1:50 000 map of Tanzania (204/2) near Dar es
>Salaam (east coast of the continent). This map was compiled and/or published
>ca. 1966.

The official suppliers in Tanzania are:

Survey & Mapping Division
PO Box 9201,
Dar es Salaam.
Tel:    +255 (51)23735
E-mail:  [log in to unmask]

Please note that it is not uncommon for topographic maps of Tanzania to be
out-of-print or stock, furthermore, communications to Tanzania, while
improving, can be difficult and unreliable.


Try these commercial suppliers for current availability and costs:

Omnimap
http://www.omnimap.com    (search under International Maps)

Tanzania-- 1:50,000 Topographic Quadrangle Maps

Now only 300 out of the 1200 sheets or so are in print.
Please note that each quad actually contains 4 sheets.

Cost:   $18.95          Per sheet.
        $4,776.00       Per Set of approx. 300 sheets


East View Cartographic
http://missingmaps.com/

East View will supply raster scans of 1:250,000 and may also supply 1:50,000.


Good luck in your search.

MIke Shand
