Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Murwillumbah, Tweed River, Tumbulgum & Wollumbin Hinterland | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🌿 Explore the Volcanic Landscapes and River Valleys of Murwillumbah

Discover the spectacular mountain scenery, fertile river valleys and subtropical landscapes of the Tweed Valley in northern New South Wales with the Murwillumbah 9541-2N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Murwillumbah and the surrounding countryside, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, environmental professionals, surveyors, engineers, land managers and emergency services.

Situated on the banks of the Tweed River, Murwillumbah occupies one of Australia's most distinctive geographical settings. The town lies within the ancient volcanic landscape associated with Wollumbin (Mount Warning), surrounded by steep mountain ridges, rolling green hills and exceptionally fertile agricultural country.

Millions of years of volcanic activity and erosion have shaped the wider Tweed Valley, leaving a dramatic landscape of mountain ranges, deeply incised waterways and rich volcanic soils.

The mapped area includes Murwillumbah, South Murwillumbah, Bray Park, Condong, Tumbulgum, Tygalgah, North Tumbulgum, Eungella, Dungay, Chillingham, Crystal Creek and Upper Crystal Creek.

Among its most significant waterways are the Tweed River, Rous River, Oxley River, North Arm Tweed River, South Arm Tweed River and numerous creeks draining the surrounding hills.

The meeting of the Tweed and Rous rivers near Tumbulgum is particularly significant. Here, broad river flats and winding waterways illustrate the close relationship between the region's drainage systems, agricultural development and historic settlement.

To the west, the landscape rises towards Mount Nullum and the McPherson Range, where forested slopes, rugged ridgelines and subtropical vegetation create a dramatic contrast with the cultivated valley floor.

The map also includes rural districts associated with Fernvale, Byangum, Dulguigan, Kynnumboon, Numinbah and the Crystal Creek valley, highlighting the diversity of the Tweed hinterland.

The district's geography has shaped its agricultural history, from sugarcane cultivation along the fertile river flats to dairy farming, horticulture and rural settlement across the surrounding hills.

With its combination of steep mountain slopes, major waterways, productive agricultural land and expanding communities, the Murwillumbah region is particularly well suited to detailed topographic study.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides the detail needed to interpret contours, identify creek systems, understand floodplain geography and examine roads and access routes throughout the Tweed Valley.

Whether you're exploring the Murwillumbah hinterland, investigating rural property, studying the Tweed River catchment or undertaking professional fieldwork, this topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
