IIRC the Osprey book by Donald Featherstone (Khartoum 1885 ?) has some very good illustrations.
“Little Wars: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books.”  H.G. Wells 1913.

have a look through the old posts on this forum..I'm sure someone recently posted about what Suakin looked like. I imagine that Khartoum couldn't have looked too different .

There is a diagram on page70 showing Khartoum in 1884 and it is based on a map by Slatin Pasha.
Hope that helps.
