Detailed NSW Southern Tablelands Topographic Mapping | Fullerton, Bolong River, Bummaroo Ford, Black Bett Mountain, Cosgroves Pinnacle & Abercrombie River Hinterland | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Rugged River Gorges and Historic Highlands of Fullerton

Discover the deeply carved river valleys, rocky mountain ridges and secluded rural landscapes of the New South Wales Southern Tablelands with the Fullerton 8829-4S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Fullerton and surrounding country within Upper Lachlan Shire, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for experienced bushwalkers, rural landowners, environmental researchers, geologists, surveyors, conservation managers and emergency services.

The Fullerton district occupies a striking landscape where elevated grazing country gives way to steep rocky hills, narrow creek valleys and the rugged terrain of the Abercrombie River catchment.

The sheet includes Fullerton, Bolong River, Bummaroo Ford, Black Bett Mountain, Cosgroves Pinnacle, Evans Peaks, The Gorge and surrounding rural and mountain country.

The locality of Fullerton developed as a pastoral settlement during the nineteenth century. Its surrounding countryside retains evidence of early grazing properties, historic homesteads and rural routes established across the highlands.

The landscape is characterised by wooded hillsides, open grazing country, isolated rocky outcrops and a complex network of small waterways.

The Bolong River is one of the district's defining geographical features. Its course follows rugged highland country, with tributaries carving narrow gullies and sheltered valleys through the surrounding hills.

Named watercourses include Berrells Creek, Black Bett Creek, Monks Creek, Seamans Creek, Reedy Creek, Pipeclay Creek and Burra Burra Creek.

These streams and their tributaries provide an excellent illustration of how drainage patterns develop across complex mountain terrain.

One of the area's historically significant locations is Bummaroo Ford, an early river crossing associated with transport and access through the district.

The presence of historic crossings, old tracks and named rural properties demonstrates how the geography of the Southern Tablelands shaped travel and settlement.

Prominent local landforms include Black Bett Mountain, The Big Hill, Cosgroves Pinnacle, Evans Peaks, Defiance Ridge and Razorback Spur.

These features offer useful reference points for understanding elevation, terrain gradients and the relationship between ridgelines and adjoining drainage systems.

The map also identifies distinctive names such as Devils Hole, Ghost Rocks, Dead End Bluff, Taylors Gorge and Blackfellows Flat, reflecting the district's long geographical and settlement history.

The wider landscape extends towards Abercrombie River National Park, where rugged mountains, steep valleys and remote river corridors protect significant native woodland and wildlife habitats.

The region is also associated with historic gold prospecting along the Abercrombie River and neighbouring creeks, although many former workings lie beyond the immediate sheet.

Fullerton's combination of grazing properties, rocky mountain terrain, wooded creek valleys and historical landmarks makes it particularly valuable for land management, environmental assessment and geographical research.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation and coordinate references for interpreting the landscape.

Whether you're investigating rural property, studying the Bolong River catchment, exploring authorised routes or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Fullerton topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

The Fullerton district contains steep rocky slopes, remote river valleys, creek crossings, private pastoral properties and unsealed roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause rapid rises in waterways, making fords and low-lying roads dangerous or impassable. Rocky terrain, unstable slopes, bushfires and fallen trees may restrict access to remote country. Historic tracks shown on a topographic map do not necessarily provide legal public access. Old mining areas may contain hazardous workings. Always check current road and park conditions, respect property boundaries and carry appropriate navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies, prospecting permissions or current emergency advice.
