🌿 Explore the Volcanic Landscapes of Nimbin and the Northern Rivers

Discover the magnificent mountain landscapes of the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales with the Nimbin 9540-4N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Nimbin and its surrounding hinterland, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, outdoor enthusiasts, environmental professionals, surveyors, rural land managers and emergency services.

Nestled beneath the dramatic volcanic formations of the ancient Tweed Volcano, Nimbin occupies a remarkable landscape of forested mountain ridges, fertile valleys, winding waterways and subtropical vegetation.

The mapped region includes Nimbin, Nimbin Rocks, Blue Knob, Lillian Rock, Cawongla, Barkers Vale and parts of Nightcap National Park. These distinctive landscapes reflect the extraordinary geological history of the region, where erosion has exposed remnants of an immense ancient volcanic system.

From the striking rock formations overlooking Nimbin to the forested ranges and rural valleys beyond, detailed topographic mapping provides an invaluable perspective on the relationship between terrain, waterways and settlement.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map reveals the landscape through detailed contour lines, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation and natural features.

Whether you're exploring the Nimbin hinterland, planning a bushwalk, examining mountain catchments or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Nimbin topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
