Discover the spectacular beaches, coastal headlands, lakes and forested landscapes of the NSW Central Coast with the Catherine Hill Bay 9231-4S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Catherine Hill Bay and the surrounding coastal country between the southern shores of Lake Macquarie and the northern Central Coast, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, coastal explorers, environmental professionals, surveyors, engineers and emergency services.

Catherine Hill Bay is one of the region's most distinctive coastal settlements, celebrated for its historic coal-mining heritage, striking ocean scenery and surviving timber coal-loading jetty. Its beach, village and surrounding bushland reveal a fascinating relationship between the natural landscape and the industrial history of coastal New South Wales.

The map includes a diverse collection of coastal and lakeside features, including Catherine Hill Bay, Lake Munmorah, Chain Valley Bay, Gwandalan, Nords Wharf, Mannering Park, Budgewoi and the surrounding Wallarah Peninsula.

Along the coastline, Munmorah State Conservation Area protects spectacular headlands, beaches and coastal heathlands, including the landscapes around Frazer Beach, Birdie Beach, Wybung Head and Snapper Point.

Further inland, the sheltered waters of Lake Munmorah, Budgewoi Lake and the southern Lake Macquarie region contrast with the rugged open coastline of the Pacific Ocean.

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

Whether you're exploring the coastal reserves, examining the region's lakes and wetlands, researching historic coal-mining landscapes or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Catherine Hill Bay topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
