Comboyne 9334-1N Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW Mid North Coast Topographic Mapping | Comboyne Plateau, Boorganna Nature Reserve, Rawson Falls, Ellenborough Falls & Camden Haven Hinterland | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Rainforests, Waterfalls and Volcanic Highlands of Comboyne

Discover the lush rainforest valleys, spectacular waterfalls and fertile volcanic highlands of the New South Wales Mid North Coast with the Comboyne 9334-1N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Comboyne and its surrounding plateau country southwest of Port Macquarie, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, environmental professionals, rural landowners, forestry managers, surveyors, engineers and emergency services.

The Comboyne Plateau is one of the region's most distinctive geographical features. Rising above the surrounding coastal hinterland, its rich red basalt soils, high rainfall and rolling hills support dairy farms, orchards, grazing properties and extensive native forests.

The map provides coverage relevant to Comboyne, Boorganna Nature Reserve, Rawson Falls, Ellenborough Falls, Innes View, Toms Creek and the surrounding plateau landscapes.

The village of Comboyne occupies picturesque elevated countryside, surrounded by agricultural properties and sheltered valleys. Historically associated with dairying, timber production and cattle grazing, the district is now also known for avocado, blueberry and other horticultural enterprises.

One of the area's outstanding natural attractions is Boorganna Nature Reserve, established in 1904 and recognised as the second-oldest nature reserve in New South Wales.

The reserve protects approximately 390 hectares of significant native vegetation, including subtropical rainforest, warm temperate rainforest, gully rainforest and wet and dry eucalypt forests.

Within the reserve, Rawson Falls plunges approximately 40 metres into a steep forested gorge. The walking track descends through lush rainforest, providing an opportunity to observe the relationship between the plateau's geology, vegetation and deeply incised waterways.

Mumfords Creek, which flows below Rawson Falls, forms part of the wider Ellenborough River catchment. Its steep valley illustrates how water erosion has cut through the plateau's volcanic and sedimentary rock formations.

Farther west, Ellenborough Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in eastern Australia. Dropping approximately 200 metres into a dramatic forested gorge, it is a defining landmark of the adjoining Bulga Plateau country.

The map also identifies numerous smaller waterways and mountain features, including Coachers Creek, Upsalls Creek, Little Toms Creek, Mount Botumboin, Bald Rock and Sugarloaf Mountain.

These geographical features create an intricate network of ridgelines, slopes and drainage systems that influence road access, agricultural land use and natural vegetation.

The broader district includes Comboyne West, Innes View, Bulga State Forest and the northern branches of the Camden Haven River, demonstrating the transition from productive plateau farmland to rugged forested escarpments.

The landscape forms part of the traditional Country of the Birpai people, whose longstanding connections to the forests, waterways and mountains remain an important part of the region's cultural heritage.

The combination of volcanic soils, important rainforest reserves, river catchments and agricultural landscapes makes the Comboyne district particularly valuable for geographical education, environmental research and rural property management.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides the detail needed to interpret contours, identify waterways, recognise ridgelines and examine roads and tracks throughout this varied terrain.

Whether you're exploring Boorganna Nature Reserve, studying the plateau's waterfalls, investigating rural property or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Comboyne topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

The Comboyne region contains steep forested escarpments, slippery waterfall tracks, narrow creek valleys and rural roads subject to rapidly changing conditions. Heavy rainfall may cause creek flooding, landslips and damage to unsealed access routes. Waterfall lookouts and rainforest tracks can become slippery, while some conservation areas and rural tracks have restricted access. Always check current park alerts, respect private property and culturally significant places, and carry suitable navigation equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies or current road access information.
