Detailed NSW Hastings Valley Hinterland Topographic Mapping | Yarras, Hastings River, Ellenborough River, Long Flat, Kindee, Mount Seaview & Forested Mountain Ranges | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Forested Mountain Ranges and River Valleys of Yarras

Discover the rugged mountain ridges, winding rivers, secluded forested valleys and picturesque rural landscapes of the New South Wales Mid North Coast hinterland with the Yarras 9335-2S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Yarras and the surrounding upper Hastings River valley west of Port Macquarie, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, bushwalkers, forestry professionals, environmental researchers, conservation managers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Yarras district occupies a distinctive landscape where the eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range descend towards the Hastings River, creating steep wooded ridges, narrow creek gullies, winding river valleys and agricultural clearings.

The map provides geographical coverage relevant to Yarras, Long Flat, Kindee, Booroola, Mount Seaview, Yarras Mountain, the Hastings River and Ellenborough River, together with surrounding rural and forested country.

The rural locality of Yarras lies within the upper Hastings Valley, where grazing properties, wooded hills and winding country roads occupy the more accessible river flats and slopes.

The district reflects the longstanding association of the Hastings hinterland with cattle grazing, timber production, rural settlement and river-based agriculture.

The Hastings River is one of the region's defining geographical features. Rising in the elevated country of the Great Dividing Range, it flows through rugged mountain valleys before continuing east towards Wauchope and Port Macquarie.

Its winding course illustrates the relationship between mountain topography, river erosion, sediment deposition and the development of fertile alluvial valleys.

The nearby Ellenborough River forms another important regional waterway, draining forested mountain country and contributing to the wider Hastings River system.

The river and its tributaries create a varied landscape of steep banks, narrow valleys, rocky watercourses and sheltered riparian vegetation.

Long Flat is a notable rural settlement within the upper Hastings Valley, surrounded by grazing properties, wooded hills and picturesque river scenery.

The nearby Kindee district occupies adjoining river and mountain country, where historic rural settlement and winding access roads reflect the challenges of farming within rugged terrain.

Other important waterways include Yarras Creek, Kindee Creek, Kindee Brook, Ellenborough River tributaries, Rushes Creek, Ralfes Creek, Big Hill Creek, Flynns Creek, Green Gully Creek and Sheepstation Creek.

These waterways illustrate the complex drainage patterns connecting mountain ridges with the larger river catchments.

The district's prominent geographical landmarks include Yarras Mountain, Mount Rockaree, Cunjevoi, Caleary Hill, Stumpy Flat and the surrounding forested ranges.

The mountainous landscape contains numerous narrow spurs, saddles and steep gullies, providing excellent opportunities for interpreting contour lines and terrain elevation.

The wider Mount Seaview region is renowned for its dramatic mountain scenery, dense native forests and rugged river catchments.

Extensive areas of forested country form part of the broader conservation landscape associated with Biriwal Bulga National Park, together with state forests and protected natural habitats farther across the Hastings hinterland.

These environments support wet and dry eucalypt forest, sheltered rainforest gullies, riparian vegetation and native woodland, with plant communities varying according to elevation, rainfall and slope orientation.

The surrounding mountain country is important for biodiversity conservation, waterway protection and maintaining ecological connections between elevated forests and river valleys.

The landscape also contains rural homesteads, grazing paddocks, bridges, river crossings, forest management tracks and winding country roads, reflecting its long history of agricultural and timber-related activities.

The combination of steep terrain, remote properties, forested catchments and river crossings makes accurate topographic mapping particularly valuable for bushfire preparedness, flood response, rural access and emergency operations.

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

Whether you're investigating rural property, exploring authorised forest routes, studying the Hastings River catchment or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Yarras topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

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

The Yarras district contains steep forested mountain slopes, isolated rural properties, narrow river valleys, creek crossings and unsealed access roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause rapid rises in the Hastings River, Ellenborough River and their tributaries, resulting in flash flooding, erosion, damaged crossings and restricted road access. Bushfires, fallen trees and forestry operations may affect forest roads and management tracks. Some mapped routes cross private property or protected conservation areas; their appearance on a topographic map does not establish public access rights. Remote mountain valleys may also have limited mobile telephone coverage. Always check current road conditions, flood warnings, fire danger ratings, national park alerts and forestry notices, respect property boundaries and carry appropriate navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies, current access information or emergency advice.
