Covering Tantangara Reservoir and the surrounding high country of Kosciuszko National Park, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, wilderness explorers, four-wheel-drive enthusiasts, environmental professionals and emergency services.

Situated within the upper Murrumbidgee River catchment, Tantangara occupies a remarkable landscape of sweeping high-country plains, snow gum woodlands, winding mountain streams and gently undulating alpine terrain.

The region is renowned for Tantangara Reservoir, an important component of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, together with its expansive mountain grasslands, remote access routes and historic high-country grazing landscapes.

The surrounding country forms part of the northern Kosciuszko wilderness, where the relationship between mountain catchments, natural waterways and hydroelectric infrastructure makes detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable.

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

Whether you're exploring the Tantangara high country, planning an extended bushwalk, examining mountain catchments or undertaking professional fieldwork, this topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
