Covering Abington and the countryside southwest of Bundarra, this detailed 1:25,000 topographic map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, bushwalkers, environmental researchers, surveyors, catchment managers and emergency services.

Abington and the New England Tablelands

Abington is a rural locality within Uralla Shire, surrounded by grazing properties, agricultural clearings, native woodland and undulating highland terrain.

The district forms part of the broader New England Tablelands, where granite landscapes and established pastoral properties illustrate the relationship between geology, agricultural land use and settlement.

Its combination of open paddocks, scattered trees and rocky hills provides useful geographical context for rural property management and landscape interpretation.

Gwydir River and Abington Creek

The Gwydir River is an important regional waterway, flowing through the elevated country of the northern New England Tablelands.

Abington Creek contributes to the surrounding drainage network, connecting local valleys and tributaries with the wider Gwydir catchment.

The area's waterways demonstrate stream erosion, drainage divides, valley development and catchment connectivity.

Detailed contour mapping helps identify creek gradients, flood-prone flats, adjoining slopes and watershed boundaries.

Haystack Mountain and Granite Landforms

Haystack Mountain is a notable geographical landmark within the Abington mapping area.

The surrounding landscape contains granite hills, rocky outcrops, ridgelines, saddles and sheltered drainage valleys.

These features demonstrate the influence of weathering, erosion and long-term geological processes on the New England landscape.

The contrast between rocky elevated country and lower pastoral valleys is particularly useful for interpreting terrain relief and contour spacing.

Bundarra District and Rural Communities

The wider region connects with Bundarra, Torryburn, Bakers Creek and neighbouring pastoral communities.

Rural roads provide access between scattered homesteads, grazing properties and nearby service centres.

The landscape illustrates how water availability, road access, landform gradients and soil characteristics influence rural settlement.

Native Woodland and Agricultural Landscapes

The Abington district contains open grazing land, eucalypt woodland, riparian vegetation and wooded hill slopes.

These habitats support native wildlife and contribute to ecological connectivity across agricultural country.

The region provides opportunities for vegetation surveys, erosion monitoring, catchment rehabilitation and biodiversity conservation.

Rural Navigation and Field Research

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), detailed contours and grid references assist with interpreting rural roads, creek systems, hill slopes, property access and elevation changes.

Whether investigating Abington Creek, studying the Gwydir River catchment, exploring Haystack Mountain or undertaking professional fieldwork, this map provides an excellent geographical reference.

Professionally printed by Mapworld, available in standard paper, waterproof and tearproof DuPont™ Tyvek®, and laminated finishes.
