🏞️ Explore the Coastal Forests, River Estuaries and Wetlands of Tabbimoble

Discover the winding coastal waterways, extensive native forests, secluded beaches and remarkable wetland landscapes of the New South Wales Northern Rivers with the Tabbimoble 9539-1S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Tabbimoble, Evans Head and the surrounding coastal country, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, coastal explorers, conservation managers, environmental researchers, forestry professionals, surveyors and emergency services.

The Tabbimoble district occupies a distinctive landscape where the coastal lowlands of the Richmond Valley meet the Pacific Ocean, creating a varied environment of sandy beaches, tidal rivers, freshwater lagoons, coastal heathland and extensive native woodland.

The map provides geographical coverage relevant to Tabbimoble, Evans Head, Evans River, Jerusalem Creek, Esk River, Tabbimoble State Forest, Doubleduke State Forest and the northern sections of Bundjalung National Park.

The rural locality of Tabbimoble lies within a landscape of low coastal ridges, forested plains, wetlands and scattered agricultural clearings.

Its surrounding country reflects the historical relationship between timber production, rural settlement, forestry, coastal conservation and regional transport.

A major geographical feature is the Evans River, which flows through a sheltered estuarine environment before reaching the Pacific Ocean at Evans Head.

The river's lower reaches contain tidal channels, mangrove vegetation, sandy banks and coastal wetlands, providing important habitats for fish, waterbirds and other native wildlife.

The coastal town of Evans Head occupies an attractive position near the river entrance, surrounded by beaches, coastal heathland, wetlands and protected bushland.

The district is particularly well known for its recreational fishing, boating, surfing and coastal walking, together with its important natural environments.

Near the coast, Evans Headland provides a prominent geographical landmark overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The surrounding shoreline includes Chinamans Beach, New Zealand Beach, Schnapper Point and rocky coastal reefs, reflecting the variety of landforms along this section of the Northern Rivers coastline.

South of Evans Head, the landscape extends into Bundjalung National Park, an extensive conservation area protecting beaches, lagoons, estuaries, coastal heath and native forests.

The park forms an important ecological corridor between the Evans Head district and the coastal landscapes approaching Iluka.

One of its defining waterways is Jerusalem Creek, a winding coastal estuary surrounded by forest, heathland and wetland habitats.

Jerusalem Creek is particularly valuable for studying tidal processes, estuarine ecology, sediment movement and coastal vegetation.

The creek's sheltered waters and adjoining trails are also important for canoeing, nature observation and recreational exploration, subject to current park regulations.

Farther inland, the Esk River contributes to the region's wider network of coastal drainage systems, flowing through low-lying forested and wetland environments.

The map also identifies Hell Hole Lagoon, Target Lake and associated drainage depressions, illustrating the extensive freshwater and coastal wetland systems characteristic of the district.

These wetlands are important for biodiversity conservation, supporting waterbirds, aquatic organisms and vegetation communities adapted to periodically inundated conditions.

Tabbimoble State Forest and Doubleduke State Forest occupy substantial areas of the surrounding landscape, containing native eucalypt forests, woodland, forestry roads and sheltered drainage gullies.

The forests contribute to the region's long history of timber production while also providing important habitats and geographical connections between coastal and inland environments.

The wider landscape includes the Minyumai Indigenous Protected Area, an important Aboriginal-managed conservation area associated with the Bundjalung cultural landscape.

Its protection reflects the continuing relationship between Traditional Owners, Country, native vegetation and biodiversity conservation.

Other geographical features include Forest Ridge, Pretty Plain, Olive Gap, Evans Head Gap and Bullock Gully, providing reference points for understanding the area's subtle relief and drainage patterns.

Unlike the steep mountainous terrain farther inland, much of the Tabbimoble district consists of low coastal plains, gently elevated ridges, sandy soils and shallow drainage systems.

These features make the area particularly interesting for studying the relationship between coastal geology, estuarine processes, wetland formation and forest ecosystems.

The surrounding road network includes the Pacific Highway corridor, rural access roads, forest management tracks and routes connecting Evans Head with adjoining communities.

Some roads and tracks pass through state forests, conservation areas or low-lying country where access can be affected by flooding, forestry operations or park management.

The combination of coastal waterways, protected forests, extensive wetlands and changing land use makes Tabbimoble especially valuable for environmental assessment, conservation management, catchment research and geographical education.

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 coastal landscape.

Whether you're investigating forest access, studying coastal wetlands, exploring authorised walking routes or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Tabbimoble 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 Tabbimoble district contains low-lying coastal wetlands, tidal waterways, native forests, exposed beaches and unsealed access tracks subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause local flooding, waterlogged forest roads and rising creek levels, while coastal storms, dangerous surf and elevated ocean conditions may affect beaches and estuaries. Bushfires, fallen trees, forestry operations and national park management may restrict access to some roads and walking trails. Some mapped routes cross private property, conservation areas or land subject to specific access restrictions; their appearance on a topographic map does not establish public access rights. Certain coastal areas are also subject to wildlife protection measures and restricted access. Always check current road conditions, tide and weather forecasts, flood warnings, national park alerts and fire danger ratings, respect property boundaries and conservation requirements, and carry appropriate navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, nautical navigation charts, official flood studies or current emergency advice.
