Edith 8830-2N Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW Central Tablelands Topographic Mapping | Edith, Duckmaloi River, Mount Trickett, Spring Mount, Native Dog Creek & Jenolan Hinterland | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the River Valleys and Forested Highlands of Edith

Discover the rolling pastoral country, clear mountain streams and forested ridges of the New South Wales Central Tablelands with the Edith 8830-2N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Edith and surrounding country east and southeast of Oberon, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, bushwalkers, forestry professionals, environmental scientists, surveyors, engineers and emergency services.

The Edith district occupies a distinctive highland landscape where grazing properties and sheltered river flats give way to wooded mountain slopes and the western approaches to the Blue Mountains.

The map provides geographical coverage of Edith, the Duckmaloi River, Mount Trickett, Spring Mount, Native Dog Creek, Harveys Creek and surrounding rural and forested country.

The small settlement of Edith lies along Edith Road, an established route connecting the Oberon district with Jenolan. Its surrounding countryside is characterised by historic pastoral properties, rolling hills, scattered native woodland and winding waterways.

The Duckmaloi River is a defining geographical feature of the district. Its course through the highlands creates a landscape of creek flats, gently sloping valleys and wooded riverbanks.

The river and its tributaries provide important geographical reference points for understanding rural drainage, erosion and land management.

Local waterways include Native Dog Creek, Harveys Creek, Spring Mount Creek, Parlour Creek, Jemima Creek, Yallabelli Creek, Buckemall Creek and Yellow Waterhole Creek.

Their branching drainage patterns illustrate how small mountain streams shape the terrain and influence the placement of rural properties, roads and access tracks.

One of the district's prominent elevations is Mount Trickett, rising above the surrounding wooded highlands. The broader landscape includes Spring Mount, Harveys Mount, Beatties Hill, Cherry Tree Hill, Bald Hill and The Porcupine.

These named hills and ridgelines provide useful landmarks for interpreting contours, gradients and local catchment boundaries.

The map also identifies features associated with Currys Springs, Horse Flat Creek, Hickory Gully, Purgatory Gully, Round Hill and Chatham Valley, highlighting the varied landforms found throughout the highlands.

The surrounding countryside has a longstanding association with grazing, forestry and rural transport.

Southwest of the principal Edith district, Vulcan State Forest protects and manages extensive forest and plantation landscapes near Black Springs.

The forest is associated with cypress pine and pine plantation history, recreational access and the wider Oberon timber industry. The nearby Black Springs district is also known for sapphire fossicking.

East of Edith, the terrain descends towards the spectacular limestone and sandstone country of the Jenolan Valley.

The historic route through Edith is particularly significant because it connects the Oberon highlands with Jenolan Caves, one of Australia's most celebrated geological destinations.

Jenolan's extensive limestone cave systems, underground rivers and steep-sided valleys demonstrate the remarkable diversity of the region's geology. The caves lie beyond the eastern edge of this sheet, so neighbouring mapping is required for detailed coverage.

The contrast between Edith's open pastoral country and the rugged landscapes nearer Jenolan makes this region especially valuable for studying elevation, drainage patterns and the transition between the Central Tablelands and Blue Mountains.

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

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

The Edith district contains rural properties, winding waterways, forest roads and elevated terrain subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall may cause creek flooding and damage to unsealed roads, while winter frost, fog, snow and ice may affect travel across the highlands. Bushfires and forestry operations can restrict access to some forest tracks. Jenolan Caves and its associated access roads are subject to significant closures and restrictions; check current NSW National Parks and Live Traffic NSW advice before planning travel. The Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve is currently closed for repair and upgrade works, with reopening anticipated in early 2027. A road or track appearing on a map does not establish public access rights. Always respect private property, follow current restrictions and carry suitable navigation equipment.
