Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Kalkite Mountain, Lake Jindabyne & Snowy Mountains | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏔️ Explore the Mountain Landscapes of Kalkite and Lake Jindabyne

Discover the spectacular lake and mountain landscapes of the Snowy Mountains in southern New South Wales with the Kalkite Mountain 8625-3N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Kalkite Mountain and the northern shores of Lake Jindabyne, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, alpine explorers, four-wheel-drive enthusiasts, environmental professionals, land managers and emergency services.

Situated north of Jindabyne, Kalkite Mountain rises above a remarkable landscape of open high-country grasslands, granite outcrops, forested ridgelines and winding mountain waterways.

The mapped region includes Kalkite, Kalkite Mountain, Kalkite Point, Kalkite Creek, Kalkite Gap, Bullenbalong, the Eucumbene Arm of Lake Jindabyne and surrounding mountain country.

Lake Jindabyne is one of the defining features of the region. Formed by the damming of the Snowy River as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, the reservoir extends into a series of scenic bays and inlets surrounded by rolling high-country terrain.

The map identifies distinctive lakeside features including The Creel, Creel Bay, Cooley Bay, Taylors Bay, Hiawatha Point, Clifford Point and Ryrie Island.

The surrounding landscape contains important mountain waterways associated with the Snowy River, Thredbo River, Eucumbene River, Gungarlin River and Burrungubugge River catchments.

The area also features geographical landmarks such as Grenadiers Ridge, Marys Hill, Rocky Creek, Panorama Point, The Big Rock and Snowy Valley Lookout, illustrating the distinctive combination of mountain landforms and lakeside scenery.

This mixture of broad waterways, rolling hills, rocky slopes and remote rural landscapes makes detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable for understanding terrain and planning outdoor activities.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides the detail needed to interpret contours, identify waterways, recognise ridgelines and understand access routes across the Snowy Mountains countryside.

Whether you're exploring the Kalkite district, studying the Lake Jindabyne catchment, planning a bushwalk or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Kalkite Mountain topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

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