Detailed NSW Northern Rivers Topographic Mapping | Tyalgum, Oxley River, Limpinwood Nature Reserve, Border Ranges, Wollumbin & Tweed Valley | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Volcanic Mountains and Rainforest Valleys of Tyalgum

Discover the dramatic mountain escarpments, lush river valleys and subtropical rainforests of the New South Wales Northern Rivers with the Tyalgum 9541-3N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Tyalgum and the surrounding Tweed Valley hinterland, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, environmental professionals, conservation managers, surveyors, engineers and emergency services.

The Tyalgum Valley occupies one of the most picturesque landscapes within the ancient Tweed Volcano, where towering mountain ridges surround fertile agricultural land and winding waterways.

The historic village of Tyalgum lies beside the Oxley River, approximately 25 kilometres west of Murwillumbah. Its heritage buildings, rural streetscape and magnificent mountain backdrop reflect the district's agricultural and settlement history.

The Oxley River, formed by the joining of Tyalgum Creek and Hopping Dicks Creek, flows eastwards towards the Tweed River near Murwillumbah. Its tributaries drain the surrounding mountains, creating narrow valleys, steep slopes and fertile river flats.

Nearby waterways include Tyalgum Creek, Pumpenbil Creek and Brays Creek, forming part of the wider Tweed River catchment.

North and west of Tyalgum, the McPherson Range and Border Ranges rise dramatically above the valley. These mountains form part of the ancient volcanic landscape surrounding Wollumbin (Mount Warning).

The surrounding Limpinwood Nature Reserve protects significant rainforest and forested mountain country near the Queensland border. Its steep slopes, sheltered gullies and important native vegetation contribute to the ecological diversity of the Northern Rivers.

Nearby Border Ranges National Park protects extensive subtropical rainforest, ancient Antarctic beech forests and rugged escarpments within the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area.

Prominent regional landmarks include Mount Nungulba, Mount Durigan, Mount Wanungara and the Tweed Range, illustrating the intricate arrangement of mountain ridges and catchment boundaries.

Southeast of Tyalgum, Wollumbin (Mount Warning) rises approximately 1,157 metres above sea level. This remarkable volcanic remnant is culturally significant to the Bundjalung people and dominates the wider Tweed Valley landscape.

The neighbouring rural districts of Limpinwood, Pumpenbil, Eungella and Brays Creek combine grazing properties, native forests, winding country roads and steep mountain catchments.

The area's high rainfall, extensive waterways and dramatic elevation changes make reliable topographic mapping particularly valuable for flood planning, rural property management, environmental research and bushfire operations.

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

Whether you're exploring the Tyalgum Valley, studying the Oxley River catchment, investigating rural property or undertaking professional fieldwork, this map provides an excellent geographical reference.

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

The Tyalgum region contains steep mountain slopes, rainforest valleys, rural properties and waterways subject to rapidly changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause flash flooding, river rises, landslips and damage to mountain roads. Some national park tracks and conservation areas have restricted access. The Wollumbin summit track remains closed, and Aboriginal cultural requirements must be respected. Always check current park alerts, weather conditions and road access, respect private property and carry appropriate navigation equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies or current emergency advice.
