Bobin 9334-1S Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW Manning Valley Topographic Mapping | Bobin, Bobin Creek, Killabakh, Bulga Creek, Mount Goonook & Yarratt State Forest | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Forested Valleys and Mountain Landscapes of Bobin

Discover the winding creeks, fertile rural valleys and magnificent forested ranges of the New South Wales Mid North Coast with the Bobin 9334-1S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Bobin and surrounding country northwest of Wingham, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, forestry professionals, environmental researchers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Bobin district occupies a picturesque landscape where the rolling agricultural valleys of the Manning hinterland meet the elevated forests and rugged foothills of the Great Dividing Range.

The map provides detailed geographical coverage relevant to Bobin, Bobin Creek, Bobin Flat, Killabakh, Mount Goonook, Bulga Creek, Caparra, Yarratt and the surrounding rural and forested country.

The rural settlement of Bobin lies within a landscape of grazing properties, wooded hills and winding country roads. Its surrounding countryside reflects the long association of the Manning Valley with dairy farming, timber production and agricultural settlement.

Bobin Creek is one of the district's defining waterways. Its course through the rural valley is accompanied by smaller tributaries, riparian vegetation and steeply rising hillsides.

The creek's catchment has been affected by bushfires and subsequent flooding, with local Landcare initiatives working to restore streambanks, reduce erosion and re-establish native vegetation.

Nearby Killabakh occupies another attractive rural valley, where creeks, farmland and forested slopes create a varied landscape for geographical study.

The surrounding waterways include Killabakh Creek, Dingo Creek, Big Hill Creek, Bulga Creek, Cedar Party Creek and Yarratt Creek, together with numerous smaller gullies and drainage lines.

Their branching patterns illustrate the relationship between mountain topography, rainfall, river erosion and the arrangement of rural properties.

One of the region's prominent geographical landmarks is Mount Goonook, part of the rugged forested country north and northwest of Wingham.

Nearby Mount Gibraltar, Mount Bally, Killabakh Mountain, Big Hill and Brushy Hill provide additional reference points for understanding the area's relief.

The landscape also contains Marsh State Forest, Yarratt State Forest and the wider Tapin Tops forest region, where native eucalypt woodland, sheltered rainforest gullies and management roads occupy the elevated terrain.

Farther north, Boorganna Nature Reserve protects important rainforest and moist forest ecosystems on the Comboyne Plateau. The reserve is renowned for its botanical diversity and the scenic Rawson Falls walking track, although detailed coverage of the reserve requires neighbouring mapping.

The broader region includes Elands, Caparra, Upper Lansdowne and Central Lansdowne, historic rural communities connected by a network of country roads and forest routes.

Bobin and its neighbouring communities were severely affected by the 2019 Black Summer bushfires. Subsequent recovery and catchment restoration have highlighted the importance of understanding the area's vegetation, steep slopes, drainage networks and rural access routes.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation and geographical reference information for interpreting this varied terrain.

Whether you're investigating rural property, studying the Bobin Creek catchment, exploring authorised forest roads or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Bobin topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

The Bobin district contains steep forested slopes, rural properties, creek crossings and unsealed roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause rapid rises in local waterways, erosion and damage to roads and bridges. Areas affected by previous bushfires may remain vulnerable to erosion, falling trees and changes in vegetation. Active forestry operations and conservation management can restrict access to forest tracks. Some routes cross private property; their appearance on a topographic map does not establish public access rights. Always check current road conditions, flood warnings, fire danger ratings and forestry notices, respect property boundaries and carry appropriate navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies or current emergency advice.
