Tunglebung 9440-3N Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW Northern Rivers Topographic Mapping | Tunglebung, Bottle Creek, Peacock Creek, Bonalbo State Forest, Richmond Range & Clarence River Hinterland | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Forested Valleys and Rural Highlands of Tunglebung

Discover the rolling rural hills, winding waterways and extensive native forests of the New South Wales Northern Rivers with the Tunglebung 9440-3N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Tunglebung and surrounding country within Kyogle Shire, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, bushwalkers, forestry professionals, environmental researchers, surveyors, engineers and emergency services.

The Tunglebung district occupies a distinctive landscape between the Richmond Range and the upper Clarence River Valley, where forested ridges descend towards sheltered agricultural valleys and winding creek systems.

The map provides detailed geographical coverage of Tunglebung, Bottle Creek, Peacock Creek, Bonalbo State Forest, Peacock Range and the surrounding rural country.

One of the district's defining features is Bottle Creek, whose valley extends southwest from the wooded slopes below Peacock Hill towards the Clarence River near Tabulam.

The waterway has carved a picturesque landscape of creek flats, narrow gullies and wooded slopes. Its tributaries create an intricate drainage network that influences the location of rural properties, access roads and areas of surviving native vegetation.

The Bottle Creek Valley also has a fascinating history of rural settlement, timber production and changing land use. Early agricultural properties and small settlements developed along the valley, while later forestry plantations transformed parts of the surrounding slopes.

Nearby Bonalbo State Forest covers extensive country associated with Bottle Creek, Peacock Creek and Tunglebung Creek. The landscape contains native eucalypt forests, managed plantations, steep ridgelines and numerous forest access tracks.

To the north, Peacock Creek drains rural and forested country associated with the wider Bonalbo district.

South of Bottle Creek, Tunglebung Creek forms another important tributary system. Its drainage corridor follows wooded slopes and agricultural flats towards the Clarence River catchment.

The arrangement of these neighbouring creek valleys makes this district particularly interesting for studying watershed boundaries, erosion, forest management and rural land use.

Above the valleys, the Peacock Range forms an outlying section of the Richmond Range landscape. Peacock Hill, rising to approximately 571 metres, provides a prominent local elevation reference.

The surrounding country includes rocky hills, narrow spurs, forested gullies and isolated pastoral clearings, creating a varied landscape for interpreting contour lines.

The map also contains country associated with Tunglebung Road, Bottle Creek Road, Tryney Creek and the Clarence Way corridor, important connections between local farms, forest areas and neighbouring rural settlements.

Farther south, Mallanganee occupies a scenic position in the Richmond Range, while Tabulam lies near the Clarence River. Both provide important regional context.

The wider landscape includes parts of Richmond Range National Park, which protects significant forests and wildlife habitats across the Northern Rivers hinterland.

This region forms part of an important transition between the elevated Northern Tablelands and the coastal river catchments of northeastern New South Wales.

Its combination of rural valleys, extensive forests, plantation history and complex creek systems makes Tunglebung particularly valuable for environmental research, land management and geographical education.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation and geographical reference information for interpreting this varied terrain.

Whether you're investigating rural property, studying the Bottle Creek catchment, planning authorised forest access or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Tunglebung topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

The Tunglebung region contains forested hills, rural properties, numerous creek crossings and unsealed roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall may cause rapid rises in Bottle Creek, Peacock Creek and Tunglebung Creek, affecting low-lying roads and access routes. Bushfires, fallen trees and active forestry operations can restrict access to forest roads and management tracks. Some tracks cross private property or are closed to public vehicles; their appearance on a topographic map does not establish public access rights. Always check current conditions, respect property boundaries and carry suitable navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies or current road access information.
