🏞️ Explore the Southern Tablelands and Historic Towrang District

Discover the rolling tableland hills, winding river valleys, historic transport routes and rural landscapes of southern New South Wales with the Towrang 8828-1S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Towrang, Marulan and the countryside east of Goulburn, this detailed 1:25,000 topographic map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, bushwalkers, environmental researchers, engineers, surveyors, historians and emergency services.

Towrang and the Historic Great South Road

Towrang occupies a historically significant position along the Hume Highway corridor, approximately 10 kilometres northeast of Goulburn.

The district is associated with the Towrang Stockade, established during the nineteenth century for convict labourers constructing the historic Great South Road.

Remnants of early road construction, stonework and associated heritage features illustrate the development of colonial transport infrastructure.

The Towrang Bridge and nearby historic road features provide valuable context for studying transport history, settlement and terrain.

Marulan and the Southern Tablelands

Marulan lies towards the northeastern part of the mapped district, surrounded by agricultural properties, wooded hills and important transport corridors.

The township developed along the historic route connecting Sydney, Goulburn and southern inland New South Wales.

The surrounding countryside contains grazing properties, limestone and quarrying landscapes, creek valleys and rural roads.

Wollondilly River and Tarlo River

The Wollondilly River forms an important geographical feature of the Towrang district, flowing through undulating rural country and deeply dissected valleys.

The Tarlo River and associated tributaries create an extensive drainage network across the eastern Southern Tablelands.

Other mapped waterways include Towrang Creek, Marulan Creek, Boxers Creek, Jaorimin Creek and Lockyersleigh Creek.

These waterways demonstrate catchment boundaries, stream gradients, erosion, floodplain development and rural drainage patterns.

Cookbundoon Range and Native Forest Landscapes

The Cookbundoon Range forms a prominent landscape feature, containing wooded ridges, elevated hills, steep gullies and native vegetation.

Cookbundoon Nature Reserve protects important sections of woodland and forest habitat within the district.

The varied terrain supports eucalypt forest, open woodland, riparian vegetation and native wildlife.

Detailed contours illustrate the relationship between ridgelines, saddles, creek systems and elevation.

Hume Highway and Main Southern Railway

The Hume Highway and Main Southern Railway provide major transport connections through the region.

Their alignments demonstrate how topography, drainage, gradients and settlement patterns influence infrastructure development.

The surrounding rural road network includes Towrang Road, Marulan South Road, Taralga Road and other local access routes.

Rural Land Management and Field Navigation

The district contains extensive grazing properties, agricultural holdings, rural homesteads and conservation landscapes.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), detailed mapping assists with interpreting contours, property access, creek crossings, transport routes and landforms.

Whether investigating Towrang's colonial heritage, exploring the Wollondilly River, studying Cookbundoon Nature Reserve 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.
