Detailed NSW Northern Tablelands Topographic Mapping | Chaelundi National Park, Guy Fawkes River Gorge, Chaelundi Mountain, Dundurrabin & New England Wilderness | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Rugged Wilderness and Mountain Valleys of Chaelundi

Discover the dramatic river gorges, forested mountain ridges and remarkable wilderness landscapes of northeastern New South Wales with the Chaelundi 9337-1N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Chaelundi and its surrounding mountainous country between the Northern Tablelands and Clarence Valley hinterland, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, conservation managers, environmental researchers, surveyors, forestry professionals and emergency services.

The Chaelundi region occupies a spectacular landscape along the eastern escarpment of the Great Dividing Range, where steep forested slopes descend towards the deeply incised valleys of the Guy Fawkes River system.

The surrounding country combines rocky ridgelines, tall eucalypt forests, sheltered rainforest gullies, mountain creeks and extensive protected wilderness.

Chaelundi National Park is a defining feature of the region, protecting important old-growth forests, native wildlife habitats and mountainous catchments. Its rugged terrain makes detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable for understanding forest access, elevation and drainage.

The park is especially significant for its conservation history, including the campaigns to protect Chaelundi's old-growth forests from logging during the late twentieth century.

Nearby, Guy Fawkes River National Park protects one of the most dramatic river systems of northern New South Wales.

The Guy Fawkes River has carved a deep gorge through the mountain country, creating spectacular rocky escarpments, narrow spurs and steep-sided valleys.

Important regional landmarks include Guy Fawkes Lookout, which provides views across the gorge, and Lucifers Thumb, a prominent rocky feature overlooking the surrounding wilderness.

The Escarpment walking track, accessed from Chaelundi campground in the adjoining park landscape, leads towards Chaelundi Falls and elevated viewpoints over the gorge.

Chaelundi Mountain, rising to approximately 1,380 metres, is another significant geographical feature of the wider district.

The surrounding country includes the forested landscapes of Dundurrabin, Kookabookra and Clouds Creek, connected by remote roads and management trails.

Chaelundi Road, Boundary Creek Road, Link Road and Tallowwood Road provide important access routes through different parts of the adjoining national park landscape.

The broader region supports extensive eucalypt forests, including important old-growth communities, together with threatened wildlife such as the brush-tailed rock-wallaby and powerful owl.

The combination of rugged mountain terrain, important waterways and protected native forests makes Chaelundi particularly valuable for biodiversity research, bushfire management and wilderness conservation.

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

Whether you're exploring the Chaelundi wilderness, investigating mountain catchments or undertaking authorised professional fieldwork, this map provides an excellent geographical reference.
