🏞️ Explore the Wilson River and Coastal Hinterland of Telegraph Point

Discover the winding river systems, subtropical forests, coastal wetlands and picturesque rural landscapes of the New South Wales Mid North Coast with the Telegraph Point 9435-2N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Telegraph Point and the countryside north of Port Macquarie, this detailed 1:25,000 topographic map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, environmental researchers, conservation managers, surveyors and emergency services.

Telegraph Point and the Wilson River

Telegraph Point is a historic riverside village situated on the Wilson River, north of Port Macquarie.

The settlement occupies a landscape of river flats, gently undulating rural country, wooded hills and agricultural properties.

The Wilson River supports riparian vegetation, recreational waterways and productive agricultural land.

Its meandering channel and floodplain provide opportunities to study river erosion, drainage patterns, flood behaviour and catchment management.

Cooperabung Creek and Nature Reserve

Cooperabung Creek drains forested and rural country towards the Wilson River system.

The surrounding Cooperabung Creek Nature Reserve protects native vegetation and habitats within the region's coastal hinterland.

The reserve and neighbouring forests contain eucalypt woodland, wet forest communities, sheltered gullies and creekside vegetation.

These landscapes are valuable for ecological research, biodiversity conservation and environmental management.

Maria River and Coastal Wetlands

The Maria River forms part of an extensive lowland drainage system connecting the Mid North Coast's rivers, wetlands and estuarine environments.

Its surrounding country includes freshwater wetlands, swamp forests, floodplains and low-lying coastal vegetation.

The system provides important habitat for waterbirds, aquatic wildlife and riparian ecosystems.

Detailed mapping assists with understanding waterway connections, flood-prone land and coastal catchments.

Limeburners Creek National Park

Limeburners Creek National Park protects coastal forest, estuarine wetlands, waterways and native vegetation within the wider district.

The park includes important natural environments associated with Limeburners Creek and the Maria River landscape.

Its habitats support forest wildlife, wetland ecosystems and ecological corridors.

Some coastal attractions lie beyond the immediate Telegraph Point sheet and require additional mapping.

Cairncross and Ballengarra Forest Landscapes

The broader hinterland includes Cairncross State Forest and Ballengarra State Forest, containing native eucalypt forests, forest roads, managed woodland and drainage gullies.

These landscapes demonstrate the district's association with timber production, rural settlement, conservation and recreational exploration.

The adjoining Ballengarra district provides additional forest and rural catchment coverage to the west.

Pacific Highway and Rural Transport

The Pacific Highway provides the principal transport connection through the Telegraph Point district.

Its alignment crosses river valleys, agricultural land, low ridges and drainage systems, illustrating the influence of terrain on infrastructure development.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), detailed contours and grid references assist with interpreting roads, forest tracks, waterways, property access and elevation.

Whether exploring Telegraph Point, investigating the Wilson and Maria river catchments or undertaking professional fieldwork, this map provides an excellent geographical reference.

Professionally printed by Mapworld, available in standard paper, waterproof and tearproof DuPont™ Tyvek®, and laminated finishes.

Important Navigation & Safety Information: The Telegraph Point district includes river floodplains, coastal wetlands, low-lying rural roads, creek crossings, forest access tracks and agricultural properties subject to changing conditions.

Heavy rainfall may cause rapid rises in the Wilson River and its tributaries, hazardous creek crossings, local flooding and road closures.

Bushfires, storms, fallen trees and forestry operations can affect native forest areas, rural roads and management tracks.

Some recorded roads and tracks cross private property or restricted conservation land. Their depiction on a topographic map does not establish public access rights.

Always check current road conditions, flood warnings, weather forecasts, fire danger ratings, forest closures and property access restrictions, and carry appropriate navigation equipment and emergency communication devices.

Topographic maps are not substitutes for current official access information, cadastral surveys, marine navigation charts or emergency advice.
