Holmden's Register of Township Maps of Johannesburg and District has been digitised by Wits Historical Papers. It was donated by Professor Kathy Munro, who purchased it from James Findlay antiquarian books on one of his auctions in 2021. Findlay was acting on behalf of a private owner who had been given it by Westgate Walding at a time when this auctioneering company was also in property transactions.

The map book contains an index in original handwriting, with an additional typescript inclusion for new townships. All townships in the Municipal area are drawn to a scale of 400ft to the inch. The maps of the various townships include every stand number per street that existed at the time. The map is invaluable to researchers and enthusiasts.
