🏞️ Explore the River Valleys, Rural Landscapes and Forested Hills of Taree

Discover the winding river channels, fertile agricultural floodplains, historic rural settlements and extensive native forests of the New South Wales Mid North Coast with the Taree 9334-2S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Taree and its surrounding Manning Valley countryside, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, agricultural professionals, environmental researchers, town planners, surveyors, engineers and emergency services.

The Taree district occupies a distinctive landscape where the broad Manning River flows through productive rural valleys, wooded hills and developed urban areas before continuing towards the coast at Harrington.

The map provides detailed geographical coverage of Taree, Chatham, Taree South, Tinonee, Purfleet, Bootawa, Killawarra, Kimbriki, Kiwarrak and surrounding rural and forested country.

The regional centre of Taree stands beside the Manning River, one of the major river systems of the NSW Mid North Coast.

Established during the nineteenth century, Taree developed as a centre for agriculture, timber production, river transport and regional commerce.

Its historic connection with the Manning River remains evident in the arrangement of roads, bridges, riverside parkland and surrounding agricultural settlements.

The Manning River is the district's defining geographical feature. Flowing through the town and surrounding countryside, it creates a complex landscape of meandering channels, alluvial flats, islands, river terraces and flood-prone agricultural land.

These landforms provide important examples of the relationship between river erosion, sediment deposition, floodplain development and rural settlement.

The river system also contains numerous islands and distinctive waterways, including Coocumbac Island, Coolooglungat Island, Boorowhangary Island, Oaky Island and Reedy Island.

Coocumbac Island Nature Reserve, situated within the Manning River near Taree, protects valuable remnants of lowland rainforest and riverine vegetation.

The reserve provides an important natural contrast to the surrounding urban environment and illustrates the ecological significance of river islands.

To the southwest, Tinonee occupies a scenic position beside the Manning River, where historic settlement, riverside properties and surrounding agricultural country form an attractive rural landscape.

Tinonee was once an important river port and commercial centre, reflecting the significance of waterways for transport before modern road networks developed.

Nearby Bootawa occupies rural country associated with the Manning River and its tributaries, with agricultural properties, wooded hills and important water infrastructure.

The broader Bootawa district includes Bootawa Dam, which has historically contributed to regional water supply and water management.

To the west, Killawarra and Kimbriki contain gently rolling agricultural hills, creek valleys, grazing properties and native vegetation.

The Killawarra Creek drainage system and its surrounding waterways provide useful geographical information for studying local catchments, erosion and rural land management.

The map also identifies Bow Bow Creek, Cubba Cubba Creek, Mondrook Creek, Kundibakh Creek, Tinonee Creek and numerous smaller tributaries, together with farm dams and drainage lines.

These watercourses demonstrate how rainfall, slope gradients and natural drainage influence the agricultural landscape.

Southeast of Taree, Kiwarrak State Forest occupies extensive wooded country containing forest roads, eucalypt vegetation and sheltered gullies.

The adjoining Kiwarrak Nature Reserve and nearby protected landscapes contribute to the conservation of native forest communities and wildlife habitats.

Further south, the broader Khappinghat conservation landscape contains coastal forest and wetland environments, illustrating the transition from the Manning Valley hinterland towards the coastal lowlands.

The district's elevated terrain includes Kiwarric Mountain, Cow Hill, Breakneck Hill, Jump Up Hill and surrounding wooded ridges, providing useful reference points for understanding the area's relief.

These hills contrast with the relatively flat agricultural and urban land beside the Manning River.

The Taree district also contains important transport infrastructure, including the Pacific Highway, Manning River Drive, The Bucketts Way, Wingham Road, Tinonee Road and the North Coast railway corridor.

These connections demonstrate the changing relationship between regional transport, agricultural settlement, urban development and the river landscape.

The combination of river floodplains, agricultural properties, native forests, transport infrastructure and growing urban areas makes Taree particularly valuable for land-use planning, environmental research, floodplain management and geographical education.

Flooding remains an important consideration throughout the Manning Valley, where heavy rainfall across the catchment can cause substantial river rises and inundation of low-lying areas.

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 Manning River catchment, assessing urban infrastructure, exploring authorised forest roads or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Taree 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 Taree district contains flood-prone river flats, tidal waterways, agricultural properties, developed urban areas, creek crossings and forested hills subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause substantial rises in the Manning River and its tributaries, affecting low-lying roads, bridges, residential areas and agricultural land. Bushfires, fallen trees and forestry operations may restrict access to surrounding forests and management tracks. Some mapped routes cross private property or protected conservation areas; their appearance on a topographic map does not establish public access rights. Always check current road conditions, flood warnings, fire danger ratings, national park alerts and forestry notices, respect property boundaries and carry appropriate navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies, engineering surveys or current emergency advice.
