Discover the forested ridgelines, winding waterways, subtropical valleys and productive rural countryside of northern New South Wales with the Afterlee 9440-1N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Afterlee, Eden Creek and surrounding country west of Kyogle, this detailed 1:25,000 topographic map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, environmental researchers, forest managers, surveyors and emergency services.

Afterlee and the Richmond Valley Hinterland

Afterlee is a rural locality in the Kyogle district, surrounded by grazing properties, wooded hills, creek valleys and agricultural clearings.

The landscape lies between the more elevated Richmond Range country and the river valleys associated with Kyogle and the Richmond River.

Its mixture of farmland, forest and winding country roads illustrates the influence of terrain, drainage and transport access on rural settlement.

Eden Creek and the Richmond River

Eden Creek is a prominent waterway, flowing through rural valleys and contributing to the wider Richmond River catchment.

The map also depicts sections of the Richmond River, together with Cob O'Corn Creek, Iron Pot Creek, Horse Station Creek and associated tributaries.

These waterways create a network of river flats, tributary valleys, riparian corridors and wooded slopes.

Their detailed mapping supports the study of catchment hydrology, creek erosion, flood behaviour and drainage divides.

Toonumbar National Park and Forested Highlands

The northern part of the sheet includes landscapes associated with Toonumbar National Park, renowned for its rugged terrain and native forest.

The surrounding country features eucalypt woodland, subtropical forest, steep ridges and sheltered gullies.

Richmond Range State Forest provides additional forested terrain within the wider mapped area.

These environments are important for biodiversity conservation, forest management and bushfire planning.

Wiangaree and Rural Settlements

The Wiangaree district occupies a scenic landscape along the Richmond River, with rural properties, creek crossings and roads connecting surrounding communities.

Other mapped localities and features include Afterlee, New Park, Upper Eden Creek and Eden Creek Hall.

The combination of historic settlement, agricultural land and forest environments provides valuable context for regional geography and rural land management.

Bullock Ridge, Hermits Peak and Elevated Terrain

Bullock Ridge, Hermits Peak and The Helmet contribute to the varied topography of the Afterlee district.

The landscape includes steep slopes, narrow spurs, saddles, wooded ridgelines and elevated viewpoints.

The map's contours reveal how the terrain changes from lower river valleys to rugged forested hills, assisting with navigation and field interpretation.

Walking, Forestry and Field Navigation

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), detailed contours and grid references assist with interpreting forest roads, rural tracks, waterways, elevation changes and mountain landforms.

Whether exploring the Afterlee countryside, investigating Eden Creek, studying Toonumbar National Park 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.
