Discover the magnificent mountain landscapes of Drake and the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales with the Drake 9340-2S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Drake and its surrounding countryside, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, outdoor enthusiasts, environmental professionals, surveyors, rural land managers and emergency services.

Situated between Tenterfield and the Clarence Valley, Drake occupies a distinctive landscape where the elevated New England Tablelands descend towards the forested ranges and river valleys of northern New South Wales.

The surrounding region is characterised by rugged mountain ridges, deeply incised creek valleys, extensive eucalypt forests and historic gold-mining country. Its proximity to the Timbarra River catchment and the northern Great Dividing Range makes detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable for understanding the region's complex terrain.

Whether you're exploring the Drake hinterland, examining mountain catchments, investigating the region's mining heritage or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Drake topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
