🏞️ Explore the Rainforest Ranges and Mountain Valleys of Tooloom

Discover the rugged mountain ranges, secluded creek valleys, ancient subtropical rainforests and extensive native forests of northern New South Wales with the Tooloom 9340-1N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering the Tooloom district and surrounding country near the Queensland–New South Wales border, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, conservation managers, forestry professionals, rural landowners, environmental scientists, surveyors and emergency services.

The Tooloom district occupies a remarkable landscape where the Northern Tablelands descend towards the Northern Rivers, creating a complex terrain of elevated mountain ridges, deeply incised creek valleys, forested slopes and sheltered rainforest gullies.

The map provides geographical coverage relevant to Tooloom, Upper Tooloom, Tooloom Creek, Maryland River, Koreelah Range, Captains Creek, Cullens Creek, Goldrock Creek, Wallaby Creek and Yabbra.

The remote rural locality of Tooloom lies within a landscape shaped by steep ranges, winding watercourses, historic pastoral settlement and extensive native vegetation.

Tooloom Creek is one of the district's defining geographical features. Its winding course through rugged forested country forms part of a wider drainage network that links mountain catchments with the rivers of the Northern Rivers region.

The surrounding waterways include Maryland River, Goldrock Creek, Cullens Creek, Captains Creek, Flagstone Creek, Needhams Creek, Oakey Creek, Rocky Waterholes Creek and Wallaby Creek, together with numerous smaller gullies and tributaries.

These waterways illustrate the relationship between mountain topography, rainfall, erosion and the formation of deeply dissected valleys.

The Koreelah Range forms a prominent component of the district's elevated landscape, with forested ridgelines, steep slopes and sheltered valleys creating varied habitats and challenging terrain.

Other named geographical features include Hippis Range, Spring Mountain, Rivertree Peak, Porcupine Hill, Buckingham Hill, Red Knob and Mount Amy, providing important reference points for understanding local relief.

The region's complex topography is further illustrated by Davidsons Gap, Sykes Gap, Sylas Gap, Whiptail Spur, Carpet Snake Gully, Chinamans Gully and Fossils Gully.

One of the district's most significant natural environments is Tooloom Scrub, an internationally important rainforest landscape protected within Tooloom National Park.

These ancient subtropical rainforests form part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, renowned for their exceptional biodiversity and surviving plant communities associated with Australia's ancient Gondwanan forests.

The rainforest contains impressive stands of black booyong, hoop pine, strangler figs, tree ferns and other subtropical vegetation, contrasting with surrounding wet and dry eucalypt forests.

Tooloom National Park is also culturally significant as part of the traditional Country of the Githabul people, whose longstanding connection with these forests and waterways continues through conservation and land management.

The wider district includes Captains Creek Nature Reserve and Yabbra National Park, together with forested country associated with Beaury Creek and the surrounding ranges.

These protected landscapes contain important habitats for native mammals, rainforest birds, reptiles and amphibians.

The Tooloom region has a rich history of rural settlement, timber extraction, grazing and gold prospecting, reflected in local place names such as Goldrock Creek and the network of historic access routes.

Rural properties, forest management tracks and mountain roads occupy the more accessible valleys and ridgelines, while substantial areas remain densely vegetated and comparatively remote.

The combination of steep terrain, high rainfall, rainforest vegetation and complex drainage systems makes Tooloom particularly valuable for biodiversity research, catchment conservation, bushfire planning and environmental management.

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 mountain landscape.

Whether you're investigating rural property, exploring authorised forest routes, studying rainforest ecosystems or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Tooloom 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 Tooloom district contains steep mountain ranges, densely forested slopes, remote creek valleys, rainforest habitats, private rural properties and unsealed forest roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause rapid rises in creeks, slippery crossings, erosion, landslips and damage to access routes. Bushfires, fallen trees and forestry operations may restrict forest roads and management tracks. Rainforest environments contain sensitive habitats requiring careful visitor management, while many remote areas have limited mobile telephone coverage. 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 national park alerts, weather forecasts, flood warnings, road conditions, fire danger ratings and forestry notices, respect property boundaries and carry appropriate navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official access information or current emergency advice.
