Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Albion Park, Lake Illawarra, Shellharbour & Illawarra Escarpment | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🌿 Explore the Coastal Plains and Mountain Landscapes of Albion Park

Discover the remarkable diversity of the Illawarra region on the NSW South Coast with the Albion Park 9028-1N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Albion Park and its surrounding countryside south of Wollongong, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, environmental professionals, surveyors, engineers, urban planners and emergency services.

Situated between Lake Illawarra and the Illawarra Escarpment, Albion Park occupies a distinctive landscape where rolling farmland, forested mountain slopes, expanding residential communities and coastal wetlands meet.

The mapped region encompasses the Albion Park district and surrounding areas associated with Albion Park Rail, Oak Flats, Tullimbar, Calderwood, Tongarra and the western shores of Lake Illawarra.

To the west, the landscape rises dramatically towards the Illawarra Escarpment and the forested ranges of the Great Dividing Range. These steep slopes, deeply incised gullies and elevated ridgelines contrast with the relatively level coastal plain surrounding Albion Park.

To the east, Lake Illawarra forms one of the region's most significant natural features. Its extensive wetlands, drainage systems and low-lying shores illustrate the relationship between coastal processes, freshwater catchments and urban development.

The surrounding countryside also contains important waterways associated with Macquarie Rivulet, the Minnamurra River catchment and smaller creeks draining from the escarpment.

The district has undergone significant change from its agricultural origins, with new residential communities, transport corridors and commercial development transforming parts of the coastal plain.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map reveals the landscape through detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation, settlements and geographical features.

Whether you're exploring the Illawarra hinterland, studying mountain catchments, investigating rural properties or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Albion Park topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

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

The Albion Park region contains low-lying flood-prone land, steep escarpment terrain, rural properties and rapidly developing urban areas. Heavy rainfall can cause creek flooding, while bushfire, landslips and changing road conditions may affect access. Always check current information and respect private property. Topographic maps provide geographical context but are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies or statutory planning documents.
