Touga 8928-3S Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Ettrema Wilderness, Morton National Park & Southern Tablelands | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Rugged Wilderness of Touga and Ettrema Gorge

Discover the spectacular sandstone wilderness of the Shoalhaven hinterland in southern New South Wales with the Touga 8928-3S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Touga and the surrounding Ettrema wilderness, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for experienced bushwalkers, wilderness explorers, environmental professionals, park rangers and emergency services.

The Touga region is characterised by deeply incised sandstone gorges, rugged escarpments, isolated plateaus and densely forested valleys. Much of the surrounding country lies within Morton National Park, an extensive protected landscape renowned for its remote wilderness and challenging terrain.

The mapped area is particularly relevant to exploration of Ettrema Creek, Quiera Clearing, Jingles Pass, Thomsons Walls and the sandstone canyon country surrounding Myall Creek.

The dramatic combination of narrow gorges, complex drainage systems and steep ridgelines makes detailed topographic mapping especially important in this region.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides the detail needed to interpret contours, identify waterways, understand ridgelines and plan routes through demanding wilderness terrain.

Whether you're preparing for an extended bushwalk, studying the region's sandstone geography or undertaking environmental fieldwork, the Touga topographic map provides an invaluable geographical reference.

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