Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Cabramurra, Kosciuszko National Park & Snowy Mountains Scheme | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏔️ Explore the Alpine Landscapes of Cabramurra and the Snowy Mountains

Discover the spectacular mountain landscapes of the northern Snowy Mountains in New South Wales with the Cabramurra 8526-2S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Cabramurra and its surrounding high country within Kosciuszko National Park, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, alpine explorers, environmental professionals, engineers, surveyors and emergency services.

Situated approximately 1,480 metres above sea level, Cabramurra is one of Australia's highest settlements. Established to support construction of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, the village occupies a remarkable landscape of steep forested mountains, snow gum woodlands, deep valleys and extensive hydroelectric infrastructure.

The mapped region includes Cabramurra, Tumut Ponds Reservoir, Tumut 1 Power Station, Tumut 2 Pondage, Happy Valley and surrounding Kosciuszko National Park. These features reveal the extraordinary relationship between Australia's natural alpine geography and one of the country's greatest engineering achievements.

The surrounding landscape is characterised by rugged mountain ridges, winding creeks, forested slopes and remote high-country trails, making detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable.

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

Whether you're exploring the Cabramurra high country, examining mountain catchments, researching the Snowy Mountains Scheme or undertaking professional fieldwork, this topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

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