🌿 Explore the Rolling Tablelands and Rural Landscapes of Bungendore

Discover the distinctive rural landscapes of the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales with the Bungendore 8727-2N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Bungendore and the surrounding countryside east of Canberra, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, surveyors, engineers, environmental professionals, land managers and emergency services.

Situated between Canberra and Lake George, Bungendore occupies an attractive landscape of rolling hills, open grazing country, forested ridgelines and winding creeks. Its location on the eastern approaches to the Australian Capital Territory gives the district a distinctive combination of historic rural settlement, transport infrastructure and natural landscapes.

The mapped area includes Bungendore, Bungendore Junction, Turallo Nature Reserve, Kowen Settlement, the Molonglo River and surrounding rural countryside.

Among the region's most significant natural features are the creek systems associated with the Molonglo River catchment, which drain through the rolling tablelands and surrounding forested hills.

To the west, the landscape transitions towards the wooded country of Kowen Forest and Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve, while the Bungendore district is characterised by agricultural properties, rural roads and small settlements.

Bungendore itself has a rich history as a rural service town and railway settlement. Its position along the rail corridor connecting Canberra and Goulburn has contributed to the development of the surrounding district.

The area's combination of gently undulating terrain, creek valleys, forested hills, agricultural land and expanding residential communities makes detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable for understanding landforms, drainage patterns and access routes.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed geographical information through contour lines, waterways, roads, railway corridors, vegetation and built infrastructure.

Whether you're exploring the Bungendore countryside, investigating rural properties, examining the Molonglo catchment or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Bungendore topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

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