The 7.5 x 10.5 page features mapping images of the "South Bank @ Orange River Mouth, Alexander Bay, Republic of South Africa," and the "Kariba Dam, North Rhodesia," taken on various Gemini flights, with charts below giving latitude, longitude, elevation, and horizontal uncertainty calculations for the regions identified.
