🏞️ Explore the Camden Haven Coast and Laurieton Hinterland

Discover the spectacular coastal mountains, winding tidal waterways, sheltered estuaries, sandy beaches and subtropical forests of the New South Wales Mid North Coast with the Laurieton 9434-1S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Laurieton, Camden Haven and the surrounding coastal landscapes south of Port Macquarie, this detailed 1:25,000 topographic map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, environmental researchers, coastal planners, landowners, surveyors and emergency services.

Laurieton and the Camden Haven River

Laurieton is a picturesque coastal township situated beside the Camden Haven River, where the river's tidal waters connect with the Pacific Ocean.

The surrounding Camden Haven estuary contains river channels, sheltered bays, mangrove wetlands and low-lying coastal settlements.

Important localities include Laurieton, West Haven, Lakewood and Camden Haven, illustrating the relationship between urban settlement, waterways and coastal topography.

North Brother Mountain and Dooragan National Park

North Brother Mountain rises dramatically above Laurieton, forming one of the region's most recognisable geographical landmarks.

Protected within Dooragan National Park, its densely wooded slopes, steep ridgelines and elevated lookouts provide outstanding views across Camden Haven.

The mountain demonstrates the influence of geology, erosion, elevation and vegetation on the coastal landscape.

Its steep slopes and narrow gullies are particularly valuable for contour interpretation and terrain analysis.

North Haven, Dunbogan and Camden Head

The coastal communities of North Haven and Dunbogan occupy opposite sides of the Camden Haven entrance.

Camden Head forms a prominent coastal headland overlooking the river mouth and adjoining beaches.

The area includes Pilot Beach, Dunbogan Beach, Gogleys Lagoon and sheltered estuarine waters, providing an excellent setting for studying coastal processes, sand movement and tidal drainage.

Kattang Nature Reserve and Coastal Lookouts

Kattang Nature Reserve protects the remarkable coastal landscape around Camden Head.

Prominent features include Perpendicular Point, Charles Hamey Lookout, rocky headlands, heathland and native coastal vegetation.

The reserve provides opportunities for bushwalking, wildlife observation, coastal geology and landscape photography.

Diamond Head and Crowdy Bay National Park

Farther south, Diamond Head and adjoining sections of Crowdy Bay National Park provide a contrasting landscape of coastal cliffs, sandy beaches, forested hills and sheltered campsites.

The wider park includes Kylies Beach and Indian Head, while neighbouring forest country supports important native habitats.

Some destinations extend beyond the immediate Laurieton sheet and require additional mapping.

Coastal Navigation and Environmental Research

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), detailed contours and grid references assist with interpreting mountain slopes, coastal tracks, river systems, wetlands and access routes.

Whether exploring North Brother Mountain, investigating the Camden Haven estuary, walking through Kattang Nature 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.

For major road closures and traffic information, consult Live Traffic NSW.

For current bushfire warnings, consult NSW Rural Fire Service, and for flooding and severe-weather emergencies, consult NSW State Emergency Service.

Important Navigation & Safety Information: The Laurieton district includes steep coastal mountains, exposed rocky headlands, ocean beaches, tidal estuaries, flood-prone lowlands and national park tracks subject to changing conditions.

Heavy rainfall may cause rapid rises in coastal waterways, local flooding, hazardous creek crossings and road closures. Strong surf, dangerous currents, coastal erosion and storms can affect beaches and headlands.

Some national park roads and walking tracks may be seasonally closed, management-only or affected by bushfires, storms and fallen trees. Their depiction on a topographic map does not establish public access rights.

Always check current park alerts, road conditions, weather forecasts, tide and surf conditions, flood warnings and fire danger ratings, and carry appropriate navigation equipment, water and emergency communication devices.

Topographic maps are not substitutes for current official access information, nautical charts, cadastral surveys or emergency advice.
