QTopo 7740 — Hungerford

1:100,000 Topographic Map

A detailed and authoritative topographic map covering the Hungerford region—an iconic stretch along the Queensland–New South Wales border known for its vast semi-arid plains, wide channel country, low dune fields, and the historic outback township of Hungerford itself. This 1:100,000 QTopo sheet provides essential regional context for pastoral operations, environmental studies, emergency management, and long-distance outback navigation.

Produced by the Queensland Department of Resources, the QTopo 7740 (Hungerford) map presents clear modelling of terrain, hydrology, vegetation patterns, infrastructure networks, and land-tenure boundaries across a landscape defined by sparse rainfall, long horizons, and remote travel corridors. Its broad-area scale is ideal for understanding catchment behaviour, landform evolution, and property planning across wide pastoral holdings.

Whether you are coordinating rangeland management, assessing regional ecology, planning 4WD routes, or studying border-country geography, this map delivers precise and reliable geographic detail.
