Yes and no. The physical territory of Rhodesia is still there - under the name Zimbabwe. The last maps to bear the name Rhodesia would have been printed in 1979 - that same year and in 1980, you would also see maps where it was called Zimbabwe-Rhodesia. 1980 would be the last year you would have seen any mention of Rhodesia on any up-to-date maps.
