Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Currowan State Forest, Clyde River & Shallow Crossing | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🌿 Explore the Forests and River Valleys of Currowan

Discover the rugged forest landscapes of the Shoalhaven hinterland on the NSW South Coast with the Currowan 8926-4N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Currowan and the surrounding country north-west of Batemans Bay, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, four-wheel-drive enthusiasts, campers, environmental professionals, forestry managers and emergency services.

The Currowan district is characterised by densely forested hills, winding mountain creeks, steep ridgelines and remote river valleys. Its extensive native forests and network of waterways form part of the rugged landscape of the Clyde River catchment.

The mapped area includes Currowan, Currowan Creek, Currowan State Forest, Shallow Crossing, the Clyde River, Bimberamala River, Boyne State Forest and Murrengenburg, together with numerous smaller creeks and forested valleys.

One of the area's most distinctive landmarks is Shallow Crossing, a well-known crossing of the Clyde River and a popular reference point for travellers exploring the forests west of Batemans Bay.

The surrounding landscape also includes remote localities such as Currowan Camp, Tomboy Hill, Lyons Creek and Belowla Island Nature Reserve, illustrating the remarkable geographical diversity of the district.

The region's combination of steep forested terrain, winding waterways and remote access roads makes detailed topographic mapping especially useful for understanding landforms, drainage and travel routes.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides the detail needed to interpret contours, identify creek systems, recognise ridgelines and plan journeys through challenging forest country.

Whether you're exploring the Currowan hinterland, planning a four-wheel-drive trip, examining the Clyde River catchment 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.
