Covering Tuggeranong and its surrounding countryside, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, environmental professionals, surveyors, engineers, land managers and emergency services.

Situated at the southern edge of Canberra, Tuggeranong occupies a distinctive landscape where the city's residential suburbs meet the rugged hills, river valleys and natural bushland of the Australian Capital Territory.

The wider region is characterised by the Murrumbidgee River corridor, Tuggeranong Valley, Lake Tuggeranong and the forested ridges of Canberra's southern hinterland. Nearby natural landmarks include Mount Taylor, the hills of Tuggeranong Hill and the rugged country extending towards the southern ACT ranges.

The combination of urban development, rural landscapes, waterways and protected bushland makes detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable for understanding the relationship between terrain and settlement.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map reveals the landscape through detailed contour lines, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation and natural features.

Whether you're exploring Canberra's southern walking trails, examining the Murrumbidgee catchment, planning infrastructure or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Tuggeranong topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
