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

Situated at the southern end of the Hunter Valley, Cessnock occupies a distinctive landscape where historic coal-mining settlements, rolling vineyards, rural properties and native forests meet the rugged foothills of the Broken Back Range.

The mapped area includes Cessnock, Kurri Kurri, Weston, Abermain, Aberdare, Bellbird, Kitchener, Nulkaba, Pokolbin, Rothbury, Lovedale and Mount View, together with numerous surrounding localities.

To the west, the landscape rises towards the Broken Back Range and Mount View Range, where forested hills, sandstone slopes and winding creeks provide a dramatic contrast to the vineyards and open countryside below.

The Cessnock district is particularly renowned as a gateway to the Hunter Valley wine region, including the vineyards and rural landscapes around Pokolbin, Lovedale and Mount View.

The region also retains a rich industrial history. Towns such as Kurri Kurri, Weston, Abermain and Pelaw Main developed around coal mining, with historic railway corridors and former mining infrastructure continuing to shape the landscape.

Natural features include Werakata National Park, Cessnock State Forest, Pokolbin Creek, Black Creek, Fishery Creek and the surrounding drainage systems.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed geographical information about contours, waterways, roads, railway corridors, vegetation, settlements and natural landforms.

Whether you're exploring the Hunter Valley countryside, researching historic coalfields, examining rural properties or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Cessnock topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
