By this time the administrative division of the town into zones had lapsed, though residential segregation along race lines persisted. What was known as Zone I into the 1940s was the area marked as Burton St. Area and north (along the coast, and slightly inland) to Oyster Bay. It remained a predominantly European residential area throughout the colonial period. Zone II, containing the bulk of the Indian community, was located in the ‘Commercial Area’, though after the war there was significant Indian expansion into Upanga (marked as Upanga Housing Estate). Zone III consisted principally of Kariakoo and Ilala, although by the time this map was produced African settlements had emerged all over the town (these are outlined in bold). Police stations/posts are also indicated.
