Covering Delegate and the southern Monaro border country, this detailed 1:50,000 topographic map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, 4WD travellers, rural landowners, environmental researchers, surveyors, conservation managers and emergency services.

Delegate Village and Historic Monaro Settlement

Delegate is a historic highland village surrounded by productive grazing country, wooded hills and mountain forests.

Established during the nineteenth century, the settlement played an important role in the development of the southern Monaro pastoral industry.

Notable landmarks include the Delegate School of Arts, Early Settlers' Hut and historic village streetscape.

Delegate is also associated with the 1916 Men from Snowy River March, an important episode in Australia's First World War history.

Delegate River and Snowy River Catchment

The Delegate River is the district's principal waterway, draining elevated country towards the wider Snowy River catchment.

The river passes through grazing valleys, forested slopes and rural landscapes, receiving water from numerous smaller tributaries.

Local waterways include Hobbs Flat Creek, Haydens Bog Creek and Rock Flat Creek, together with smaller mountain drainage systems.

These features demonstrate river erosion, stream gradients, catchment boundaries and floodplain development.

Mount Delegate and Rock Flat Range

Mount Delegate dominates the surrounding highland landscape, providing a prominent geographical reference near the NSW–Victoria border.

The nearby Rock Flat Range contains forested ridgelines, steep hillsides, sheltered gullies and elevated terrain.

These landforms illustrate the relationship between mountain geology, watershed divides, slope gradients and regional drainage systems.

Detailed contours are particularly useful for interpreting ridges, saddles, spurs and changes in elevation.

Craigie, Corrowong and Rural Border Country

The wider Craigie and Corrowong districts contain extensive grazing properties, rural homesteads, winding roads and wooded hills.

The surrounding country forms part of the historic NSW–Victoria border region, where agriculture, forestry and transport have shaped settlement.

Routes including Delegate Road, Lower Bendoc Road and Craigie Range Road provide important regional connections.

Bondi Forest and Native Vegetation

The broader district includes Bondi Forest and neighbouring wooded country, containing native eucalypt forest, sheltered creek valleys and mountain woodland.

These landscapes provide habitat for native wildlife and contribute to important biodiversity corridors and forest catchments.

They offer opportunities for ecological surveys, forest management, bushfire planning and environmental research.

Rural Navigation and Field Exploration

At 1:50,000 scale (1cm = 500 metres), the map provides a valuable regional perspective on mountain ridges, creek systems, rural roads, forestry tracks and geographical landmarks.

Whether exploring Delegate's historic village, investigating the Delegate River, navigating the Rock Flat Range or undertaking professional fieldwork, this map provides an excellent geographical reference.

Professionally printed by Mapworld, available in standard paper, waterproof and tearproof DuPont™ Tyvek®, and laminated finishes.
