🏞️ Explore the Forested Ranges and Rural Valleys of Manar

Discover the rolling grazing country, rugged mountain ridges, winding creek systems and extensive native forests of the New South Wales Southern Tablelands with the Manar 8827-3N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Manar and the surrounding country between Bungendore and Braidwood, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, agricultural professionals, bushwalkers, environmental researchers, conservation managers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Manar district occupies a distinctive landscape where the open agricultural valleys of the Southern Tablelands meet the forested slopes and uplands of the Great Dividing Range.

The map provides geographical coverage relevant to Manar, Mulloon, Butmaroo, Warri Creek, Manar Creek, Mulloon Creek, the Butmaroo Range and Tallaganda conservation country.

The rural locality of Manar lies among grazing properties, wooded hills, creek valleys and historic rural access routes. Its surrounding country reflects the longstanding association of the Southern Tablelands with sheep grazing, pastoral settlement and agricultural development.

One of the district's most significant waterways is Mulloon Creek, which drains rural valleys and wooded uplands before continuing through the broader Southern Tablelands catchment.

The Mulloon Creek catchment is nationally recognised for landscape restoration and natural sequence farming initiatives aimed at improving soil moisture, rehabilitating degraded waterways and restoring catchment function.

These projects demonstrate the important relationship between topography, agricultural practices, stream erosion and environmental rehabilitation.

Other mapped waterways include Manar Creek, Warri Creek, Ratall Creek, Massey Creek, Spring Creek, Gilberts Creek, Doughboy Creek, Woolshed Creek, Meehans Creek, Moura Creek and Reedy Creek.

Their branching patterns illustrate the influence of slope, elevation and geological structure on regional drainage systems.

The Butmaroo Range forms an important geographical feature, with wooded ridges, steep slopes and mountain gullies extending across the surrounding high country.

The nearby Gourock Range contributes to the region's elevated landscape, where native forests, rocky slopes and sheltered valleys contrast with the more open grazing country.

Other named landforms include Doughboy Hills, Turralo Ridge and the North Black Range, providing useful reference points for interpreting local relief and drainage divides.

The wider landscape contains sections of Tallaganda State Conservation Area, protecting native vegetation, forested uplands and important ecological habitats.

These forests form part of a broader conservation landscape extending through the Southern Tablelands and adjoining ranges.

Vegetation includes dry eucalypt woodland, forested slopes, creekside vegetation and cleared agricultural pasture, with local differences reflecting elevation, soil conditions and rainfall.

The Kings Highway is a major transport route through the district, connecting Canberra and Bungendore with Braidwood and the New South Wales South Coast.

Other mapped roads include Mulloon Road, Manar Road, Butmaroo Road, Tally Ho Road, Mayfield Road and Backrun Road, together with rural access routes and forest management trails.

These routes illustrate the relationship between regional transport infrastructure, agricultural settlement and mountainous terrain.

The map also identifies forest trails associated with the Butmaroo Range, Gourock Range and North Black Range, although some tracks are gated or subject to access restrictions.

The combination of grazing properties, forested hills, creek networks and rural infrastructure makes Manar particularly valuable for catchment research, agricultural planning, bushfire management and environmental fieldwork.

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 Mulloon Creek catchment, exploring authorised forest routes or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Manar 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 Manar district contains rural grazing properties, forested mountain slopes, creek crossings, unsealed roads and conservation areas subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause rapid rises in local waterways, erosion, slippery crossings and damage to rural access routes. Bushfires, fallen trees and conservation management operations may restrict forest roads and fire trails. Some routes shown on the map cross private property, while others are gated or restricted to authorised users; their appearance on a topographic map does not establish public access rights. Always check current road conditions, weather forecasts, flood warnings, fire danger ratings and access restrictions, 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.
