Detailed NSW Mid North Coast Topographic Mapping | Coopernook, Lansdowne River, Coopernook State Forest, Lansdowne State Forest, Cattai Wetlands & Crowdy Bay Hinterland | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the River Valleys and Coastal Forests of Coopernook

Discover the winding waterways, productive rural valleys and extensive coastal forests of the New South Wales Mid North Coast with the Coopernook 9434-3N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Coopernook and its surrounding country north of Taree, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, forestry professionals, bushwalkers, environmental scientists, surveyors, engineers and emergency services.

The Coopernook district occupies a distinctive landscape between the forested foothills of the Lansdowne hinterland and the low-lying coastal plains associated with the Manning River.

The map provides geographical coverage relevant to Coopernook, the Lansdowne River, Coopernook State Forest, Lansdowne State Forest and surrounding rural and wetland environments.

The historic village of Coopernook lies approximately 24 kilometres north of Taree, near a pronounced bend in the Lansdowne River. This bend is closely associated with the origin of the village's name.

Coopernook developed as a rural community serving surrounding agricultural properties, timber-producing forests and regional transport routes.

The Lansdowne River is one of the district's defining geographical features. Flowing through wooded country and agricultural valleys, it continues towards the Manning River system near Taree.

Its meandering course has helped create a landscape of river flats, shallow drainage valleys, wooded banks and flood-prone rural land.

These features are particularly valuable for studying the relationship between waterways, topography, rural settlement and agricultural development.

North and west of Coopernook, Coopernook State Forest and Lansdowne State Forest contain extensive native eucalypt woodland, forest roads, sheltered creek gullies and managed timber-production areas.

The forests have a longstanding connection with the region's timber industry and remain significant for vegetation management, recreation and biodiversity.

To the east, the country becomes increasingly influenced by coastal drainage systems and wetlands.

Cattai Wetlands is one of the most important conservation landscapes in the wider Coopernook district. Once degraded agricultural land, the wetlands have undergone extensive ecological restoration to improve water quality, rehabilitate native vegetation and restore natural wetland habitats.

The restored landscape provides a valuable wildlife corridor between the Lansdowne forests and Crowdy Bay National Park.

Waterways associated with Cattai Creek, Tappin Creek and Big Swamp form part of this environmentally significant lowland system.

The surrounding wetlands support waterbirds, native vegetation communities and important aquatic habitats, making the area particularly interesting for environmental fieldwork and catchment studies.

Farther east, Crowdy Bay National Park protects an extensive coastal landscape of beaches, heathland, wetlands, native forests and rocky headlands.

The wider coastal district includes Harrington, Crowdy Head and Johns River, with additional topographic sheets useful for following routes beyond the Coopernook map.

The region's road network includes Lansdowne Road, Harrington Road, Coopernook Forest Way and the Pacific Highway corridor.

The opening of the Coopernook bypass in 2006 shifted through traffic away from the village, illustrating how modern transport infrastructure has influenced the development of rural communities.

The combination of river floodplains, native forests, restored wetlands and rural infrastructure makes Coopernook particularly valuable for land management, environmental research, forestry and geographical education.

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

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

The Coopernook district contains flood-prone river flats, coastal wetlands, private rural properties, creek crossings and unsealed forest roads. Heavy rainfall can cause flooding along the Lansdowne River and surrounding drainage systems, affecting low-lying roads and agricultural land. Bushfires, fallen trees and forestry operations may restrict access to some state forest roads. Wetland conservation areas may have designated access routes and sensitive habitats. Always check current road conditions, flood warnings, national park alerts and forestry notices, respect property boundaries and carry appropriate navigation equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies or current emergency advice.
