Dazzler 1:50,000 Topographic Map – Tasmania

An essential regional map for navigating, planning and exploring kanamaluka / River Tamar, Narawntapu National Park and Tasmania’s north-central coast.

The Dazzler 1:50,000 Topographic Map provides a clear and accurate representation of this geographically varied region. Produced in 2019, Edition 1 features enhanced building symbols, hill shading and simplified vegetation classification, making the landscape easier to interpret both in the field and during trip planning.

At 1:50,000 scale, 1 centimetre on the map represents 500 metres on the ground—an excellent balance between regional coverage and practical topographic detail.
