Covering Kerriki and the mountainous country west of Comboyne and northwest of Wingham, this detailed 1:25,000 topographic map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, forest managers, environmental researchers, rural landowners, surveyors and emergency services.

Kerriki Creek and the Mountain Catchments

Kerriki Creek is an important local waterway draining the rugged, forested slopes of the Manning hinterland.

The surrounding drainage network includes Caparra Creek, Murrays Creek, Little Murrays Creek, Sandy Creek, Hikey Creek and Sheep Station Creek.

These waterways flow through steep-sided gullies, sheltered forest valleys and deeply dissected mountain country.

Their branching patterns provide excellent opportunities to study stream gradients, erosion, watershed boundaries and catchment development.

Rowleys River and Nowendoc River

The Rowleys River and Nowendoc River are prominent waterways within the wider Kerriki landscape.

Their river valleys contain steep forested slopes, rocky outcrops, narrow tributary systems and remote mountain terrain.

The waterways form part of the broader Manning River catchment, illustrating how upland drainage systems connect with the coastal hinterland.

Detailed contours help identify river corridors, elevated ridgelines and changing valley gradients.

Dingo Tops Forest Park and Native Forests

Dingo Tops Forest Park occupies elevated forest country renowned for its native eucalypt vegetation, mountain scenery and recreational forest environment.

The surrounding Dingo State Forest and Knorrit State Forest contain extensive woodland, forest tracks and steep mountain slopes.

These landscapes provide valuable geographical context for forest management, biodiversity monitoring, bushfire planning and outdoor exploration.

Rowleys Rock Flora Reserve and Rocky Landforms

Rowleys Rock Flora Reserve protects a distinctive environment of rocky mountain terrain, native vegetation and elevated forest habitat.

Nearby features include Rowleys Rock Lookout, Browns Lookout, Head and Shoulders Cliff and Deep Gorge Falls.

These landmarks demonstrate the influence of geology, erosion, rock weathering and steep topography on the landscape.

Rural Settlements and Mountain Access

The broader district includes Kerriki, Tambay, Delray, Murraburra and scattered rural properties.

Mountain roads and forest tracks connect these localities through steep ridges, creek valleys and isolated woodland.

These routes demonstrate the challenges of rural access, forestry operations and emergency response.

Bushwalking, Conservation and Field Navigation

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), detailed contours and grid references assist with interpreting mountain ridges, creek systems, forest roads, rocky slopes and elevation changes.

Whether exploring Dingo Tops Forest Park, investigating Kerriki Creek and the Rowleys River, studying Rowleys Rock Flora Reserve 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.

Important Navigation & Safety Information: The Kerriki district includes steep forested mountain slopes, remote forestry roads, rocky escarpments, narrow creek valleys, isolated rural properties and waterways subject to changing conditions.

Heavy rainfall may cause rapid creek rises, hazardous crossings, erosion, landslips and road closures, while bushfires, storms and fallen trees can affect forest roads, walking tracks and remote access routes.

Some roads and tracks cross private property, working forestry land or restricted management areas. Their depiction on a topographic map does not establish public access rights.

Always check current forest closures, road conditions, weather forecasts, creek levels, flood warnings, fire danger ratings and property access requirements, and carry appropriate navigation equipment, water and emergency communication devices.
