Gurnang 8829-1N Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Gurnang, Abercrombie River National Park & Werong State Forest | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🌲 Explore the Rugged Mountain Forests and River Valleys of Gurnang

Discover the remarkable mountain landscapes of the Central Tablelands of New South Wales with the Gurnang 8829-1N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Gurnang and the surrounding high country south of Oberon, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, four-wheel-drive enthusiasts, campers, environmental professionals, forestry managers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Gurnang district occupies a rugged landscape along the Great Dividing Range, where elevated forested ridges descend into steep river valleys, remote creek systems and extensive areas of native bushland.

The mapped area includes Gurnang, Mount Hutton, Cat Hill, Brass Walls, Werong State Forest and sections of Abercrombie River National Park and Blue Mountains National Park.

The surrounding landscape is characterised by substantial changes in elevation, winding mountain waterways and remote forest trails. Its sandstone ridges, steep gullies and densely vegetated valleys create a challenging but fascinating environment for geographical exploration.

Among the region's most significant natural features is the Abercrombie River, whose deeply incised valley forms an important part of the wider mountain landscape.

The map also identifies geographical features and access routes associated with Cat Hill Trail, Brass Walls Fire Trail, McManus Trail and Werong State Forest, providing useful reference points for exploring this isolated country.

The surrounding Abercrombie River National Park is renowned for its rugged river scenery, open eucalypt forests, remote camping opportunities and four-wheel-drive tracks.

This is a landscape where topographic mapping becomes particularly valuable. Steep ridgelines, narrow valleys, winding creeks and limited access routes make an understanding of contours and drainage patterns essential for responsible trip planning.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the Gurnang map provides the detail needed to interpret elevation, identify waterways, understand mountain terrain and plan routes through remote forest country.

Whether you're preparing for a four-wheel-drive expedition, exploring the Gurnang high country, studying mountain catchments or undertaking professional fieldwork, this topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

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