EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, depicting the Gold Coast Colony in West Africa, circa 1920, offers a fascinating glimpse into the region's rich history of cocoa production and mining during the 1920s. The Gold Coast Colony, now modern-day Ghana, was a significant British territory located along the Gulf of Guinea. The map highlights the main cocoa producing areas, shaded in brown, which dominated the economy of the colony. Cocoa was a major cash crop, and its cultivation and export played a crucial role in the region's economic development. The map also reveals the extensive railway line, represented by the intricate network of red lines, which served as the primary means of transportation for the export of raw materials, including cocoa beans and gold, from the interior regions to the coast. The steamship routes, indicated by the blue lines, further facilitated the movement of goods and people between the colony and other parts of the world. The gold mining area, represented by the yellow shading, was another essential component of the Gold Coast Colony's economy. Gold was a significant source of wealth and attracted numerous investors and migrant laborers from various parts of Africa and beyond. The map provides a visual representation of the complex interplay between the colonial administration, resource extraction, and the transportation infrastructure that shaped the economic landscape of the Gold Coast Colony during the 1920s. This map print, with its intricate details and historical significance, offers an engaging perspective on the rich cultural and economic history of Ghana and the Gold Coast Colony during the 1920s. It is an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Africa and its colonial past.
