🏞️ Explore the Kybeyan Highlands and Snowy Monaro Wilderness
Discover the spectacular forested mountain ridges, winding creek valleys, elevated grazing country and protected wilderness landscapes of southeastern New South Wales with the Kybeyan 8725-2N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.
Covering Kybeyan and the eastern Snowy Monaro highlands, this detailed 1:25,000 topographic map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, environmental researchers, conservation managers, surveyors and emergency services.
Kybeyan and the Eastern Monaro Highlands
Kybeyan occupies elevated country east of Cooma, where the Monaro Tablelands transition into the densely wooded mountains of the Great Dividing Range.
The surrounding landscape combines rural grazing properties, forested ridges, sheltered creek valleys and scattered agricultural clearings.
Its rugged topography has influenced rural settlement, agricultural development, road construction and land management.
The contrast between open valleys and forested slopes is particularly useful for studying land use, elevation and drainage patterns.
Kybeyan River and Mountain Catchments
The Kybeyan River is a defining geographical feature, flowing through mountain valleys, native forest and rural highland country.
Its tributaries form an intricate network of small creeks, drainage gullies and watershed divides.
The river contributes to the wider Tuross River catchment, linking the Monaro highlands with coastal waterways farther east.
Detailed contours assist with understanding stream gradients, erosion, catchment boundaries and changes in elevation.
Kybeyan State Conservation Area
Kybeyan State Conservation Area protects an important landscape of native forest, mountain slopes and biodiversity habitat.
Its vegetation includes eucalypt forest, woodland, sheltered gullies and varied mountain plant communities.
These habitats support native wildlife and contribute to important ecological corridors and upper catchments.
The conservation area provides valuable opportunities for environmental surveys, biodiversity monitoring and conservation planning.
Dangelong Nature Reserve and Forested Ridges
The wider district connects with Dangelong Nature Reserve, where protected forest and woodland communities occupy the southern highlands.
The Dangelong ridges contain steep wooded slopes, narrow spurs, sheltered valleys and complex terrain.
These landscapes demonstrate the relationship between geology, erosion, slope aspect, drainage and native vegetation.
Rural Roads and Grazing Landscapes
The district includes grazing properties, rural access roads, forest tracks and scattered homesteads.
Steep slopes and changing drainage conditions present challenges for property access, erosion control and bushfire management.
Topographic information supports the interpretation of road gradients, creek crossings, property access and terrain features.
Bushwalking, Conservation and Field Navigation
At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), detailed contours and grid references assist with interpreting mountain ridges, gullies, forest roads, waterways and elevation changes.
The map is valuable for bushwalking, rural property management, environmental surveys, catchment research and emergency planning.
Whether exploring the Kybeyan River, studying Kybeyan State Conservation Area 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.

📍 Official NSW Mapping Source
This map forms part of the NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series, providing authoritative geographical information about the natural and built environment of New South Wales.
Important Navigation & Safety Information: The Kybeyan district includes steep forested mountain slopes, remote rural roads, narrow creek valleys, unsealed tracks and working agricultural properties.
Heavy rainfall may cause hazardous creek crossings, erosion, changing water levels and rural road closures, while bushfires, storms, fog, frost and winter snow or ice can affect forest access and mountain roads.
Some mapped routes cross private property, conservation management areas or restricted operational land. Their depiction on a topographic map does not establish public access rights.
Always check current park alerts, road conditions, weather forecasts, fire danger ratings and property access requirements, and carry appropriate navigation equipment, water and emergency communication devices.
Topographic maps are not substitutes for current official access information, cadastral surveys or emergency advice.
