Kulnura 9131-4S Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Kulnura, Mangrove Creek Dam & Central Coast Hinterland | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🌿 Explore the Forested Highlands and Rural Landscapes of Kulnura

Discover the beautiful mountain landscapes, productive rural countryside and forested catchments of the NSW Central Coast hinterland with the Kulnura 9131-4S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Kulnura and its surrounding highland country north-west of Gosford, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, environmental professionals, surveyors, engineers, land managers and emergency services.

Situated approximately 350 metres above sea level, Kulnura occupies an elevated landscape of rolling sandstone hills, fertile agricultural clearings, extensive native forests and winding mountain waterways.

The district is particularly renowned for its orchards, rural properties and picturesque countryside. Along George Downes Drive, farms and forested landscapes create a distinctive transition between the Central Coast's coastal settlements and the rugged ranges of the inland hinterland.

One of the region's most significant geographical features is Mangrove Creek Dam, a major water-storage reservoir supplying the Central Coast. The surrounding catchment includes forested ridgelines, steep valleys and a complex network of creeks and tributaries.

The wider landscape encompasses the rural districts of Mangrove Mountain, Cedar Brush Creek, Yarramalong and the Watagan hinterland, where agricultural land, protected water catchments and extensive native bushland shape the character of the region.

The terrain around Kulnura provides an excellent example of the relationship between elevated sandstone country, natural drainage systems, rural settlement and the management of water resources.

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

Whether you're exploring the Central Coast hinterland, investigating rural property, examining the Mangrove Creek catchment or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Kulnura topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

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