🏞️ Explore the Fertile River Valleys and Forested Hills of Larnook

Discover the lush rural valleys, winding waterways, rolling green hills and forested mountain landscapes of northern New South Wales with the Larnook 9540-4S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Larnook and the surrounding Northern Rivers hinterland west of Lismore, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, agricultural professionals, bushwalkers, environmental researchers, catchment managers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Larnook district occupies a distinctive landscape where the fertile agricultural valleys of the Richmond River catchment meet the elevated hills and volcanic landscapes of the Northern Rivers hinterland.

The map provides geographical coverage relevant to Larnook, Coffee Camp, Goolmangar, Jiggi, Georgica, Bentley, Boorabee, Rock Valley and surrounding rural and forested country.

The rural locality of Larnook lies within a picturesque landscape of grazing properties, wooded slopes, winding country roads and fertile valleys shaped by the region's subtropical climate.

Its surrounding countryside reflects the longstanding association of the Northern Rivers with dairy farming, cattle grazing, horticulture, timber production and rural settlement.

One of the district's defining waterways is Leycester Creek, an important tributary system within the wider Richmond River catchment.

The creek and its tributaries drain agricultural valleys and forested hills before continuing towards Lismore, where the waterways ultimately connect with the Richmond River system.

Their winding courses have helped create a landscape of alluvial flats, creek terraces, agricultural floodplains and wooded riverbanks.

The local drainage network includes Billen Creek, Boorabee Creek, Georgica Creek, Goolmangar Creek, Jiggi Creek, Terania Creek, Konorigan Creek, Rosehill Creek and Scrubby Creek.

These waterways illustrate the relationship between rainfall, topography, river erosion, agricultural development and catchment management.

The nearby settlement of Coffee Camp occupies scenic rural country among rolling hills and creek valleys, reflecting the district's agricultural history.

Farther south and east, Goolmangar and Jiggi are established rural communities surrounded by dairy country, grazing properties, wooded slopes and local waterways.

The Georgica district occupies another attractive rural valley, where creek systems, agricultural land and wooded hills form a varied landscape for geographical study.

To the southwest, Bentley lies within the broader Northern Rivers agricultural landscape, connected to surrounding communities by rural roads and historic transport routes.

The district's prominent geographical features include Mount Billen, Billygoat Mountain, Mount Boorabee, Fairy Mountain, Tower Mountain and Muckleewee Mountain.

These elevated landmarks provide useful reference points for interpreting the area's relief, drainage divides and terrain gradients.

The Mackellar Range contributes to the distinctive wooded uplands of the region, where steep slopes, narrow ridgelines and sheltered gullies contrast with more open agricultural valleys.

Additional local features include Kangaroo Hill, Billygoat Point, Cedar Point, Durhams Lookout and Bald Hill, illustrating the varied topography of the Northern Rivers hinterland.

The wider landscape includes Bungabbee State Forest and Boorabee State Forest, where native eucalypt woodland, forest management tracks and sheltered drainage valleys occupy the elevated country.

Nearby conservation areas include Bungabbee Nature Reserve and Muckleewee Mountain Nature Reserve, protecting important native vegetation and habitats associated with the region's remaining forest communities.

Vegetation across the district includes wet and dry eucalypt forest, sheltered rainforest vegetation, riparian woodland and agricultural pasture, with differences influenced by elevation, rainfall and soil conditions.

The Northern Rivers is well known for its complex geological history and fertile soils, including landscapes influenced by the ancient Tweed volcanic system.

This geological background helps explain the area's productive agricultural valleys, elevated ridges and varied drainage patterns.

The district's road network includes Cawongla Road, local connecting roads, property access routes and recorded forest tracks, linking rural communities with Lismore, Nimbin, Casino and surrounding districts.

The region's high rainfall and complex drainage systems make flooding an important consideration for rural properties and infrastructure.

Communities across the Northern Rivers, including Larnook and the wider Leycester Creek catchment, were severely affected by the 2022 Northern Rivers floods.

These events reinforced the importance of understanding floodplain elevations, creek networks, road crossings, erosion and rural access routes.

The combination of productive agricultural land, native forests, winding waterways and elevated rural terrain makes Larnook particularly valuable for property management, catchment research, environmental conservation and geographical education.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks, buildings, vegetation and geographical reference information for interpreting this varied landscape.

Whether you're investigating rural property, studying the Leycester Creek catchment, exploring authorised forest roads or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Larnook topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

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

The Larnook district contains flood-prone creek valleys, rural grazing properties, forested hills, creek crossings and unsealed access roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause rapid rises in Leycester Creek and its tributaries, flash flooding, erosion and damage to rural roads and bridges. Bushfires, fallen trees and forestry operations may restrict forest roads and management tracks. Some mapped routes cross private property or protected conservation areas; their appearance on a topographic map does not establish public access rights. Always check current road conditions, flood warnings, fire danger ratings, national park alerts and forestry notices, respect property boundaries and carry appropriate navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies, current access information or emergency advice.
