Detailed NSW Northern Rivers Topographic Mapping | Mallanganee, Richmond Range, Mallanganee National Park, Mallanganee Lookout & Cambridge Plateau Region | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Forested Ranges and Rural Valleys of Mallanganee

Discover the magnificent forested ridgelines, rolling grazing country and spectacular mountain scenery of the New South Wales Northern Rivers with the Mallanganee 9440-3S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Mallanganee and its surrounding rural and mountain landscapes, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, four-wheel-drive travellers, rural landowners, environmental professionals, forestry managers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Mallanganee district occupies a remarkable position near the crest of the Richmond Range, where elevated forested country separates the Richmond River drainage system from valleys extending towards the western Northern Tablelands.

Situated along the Bruxner Highway, approximately 40 minutes west of Casino, the village of Mallanganee lies amid cattle-grazing properties, native forests and winding country roads.

The map provides detailed geographical coverage of Mallanganee, the surrounding Richmond Range highlands, local rural valleys and the Mallanganee National Park district.

One of the area's most recognisable landmarks is Mallanganee Lookout, situated on an elevated section of the Richmond Range just off the Bruxner Highway.

From the lookout, visitors enjoy sweeping views across the forest canopy towards Cambridge Plateau and the coastal hinterland. On clear days, distant landmarks include Wollumbin (Mount Warning) to the northeast and the Great Dividing Range to the west.

This remarkable viewpoint illustrates the dramatic contrast between the steep wooded slopes of the Richmond Range and the broad rural valleys below.

Nearby, Mallanganee National Park protects approximately 1,144 hectares of native vegetation and mountain landscapes. Established in 1999, the park forms part of an important network of protected forests across the Northern Rivers.

Its conservation significance lies in the protection of native woodland, wildlife habitats and ecological connections between neighbouring ranges.

North of Mallanganee, the Cambridge Plateau forms part of the wider Richmond Range National Park landscape. The plateau is renowned for its subtropical rainforest, eucalypt forests and sweeping views across the Richmond River catchment.

The Cambridge Plateau scenic drive begins near Mallanganee and follows an elevated forest route into Richmond Range National Park. It provides access to picnic areas and spectacular natural scenery, subject to current park and road conditions.

The wider national park also contains sections of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, protecting ancient rainforest communities of outstanding ecological importance.

The surrounding rural district includes Tunglebung, Mummulgum, Bonalbo and Tabulam, connected by a network of regional roads, agricultural properties and wooded valleys. These are important neighbouring localities, although their full coverage requires additional topographic sheets.

The region's hills and valleys are drained by numerous small creeks, forming part of the broader Richmond and Clarence river catchment landscapes.

The arrangement of mountain ridgelines, creek valleys and forested slopes makes topographic mapping particularly valuable for understanding drainage, elevation and access.

The combination of productive grazing country, mountain forests, protected conservation areas and historic rural settlements makes Mallanganee an excellent district for geographical study, environmental management and outdoor exploration.

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

Whether you're exploring the Richmond Range, studying local catchments, managing rural property or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Mallanganee topographic map provides an authoritative geographical reference.

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

The Mallanganee district contains steep forested slopes, rural properties, unsealed roads and creek crossings subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall may cause flash flooding, erosion and damage to rural access routes. Forest roads may be affected by fallen trees, bushfires and temporary closures. The Cambridge Plateau scenic drive and other mountain tracks require checking current access conditions before travelling. Some tracks cross private property or are restricted to authorised management vehicles. Always respect access limitations and carry appropriate navigation and emergency communication equipment.
