Detailed NSW South Coast Topographic Mapping | Gerroa, Crooked River, Seven Mile Beach, Black Head, Gerringong Hinterland & Seven Mile Beach National Park | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Coastal Landscapes and River Valleys of Gerroa

Discover the sweeping ocean beaches, sheltered river estuaries and beautiful coastal landscapes of the New South Wales South Coast with the Gerroa 9028-2N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Gerroa and surrounding country between Gerringong and Shoalhaven Heads, this detailed map provides geographical information for bushwalkers, coastal explorers, rural landowners, environmental scientists, surveyors, planners and emergency services.

The Gerroa district occupies a remarkable landscape at the southern end of the Kiama coastal region, where rolling green hills descend towards sheltered wetlands, sandy river flats and the broad sweep of Seven Mile Beach.

The map provides coverage relevant to Gerroa, Crooked River, Black Head, Seven Mile Beach and Seven Mile Beach National Park, with Gerringong, Berry and Shoalhaven Heads providing important regional context.

The village of Gerroa occupies elevated ground overlooking the northern end of Seven Mile Beach. Its distinctive geographical setting provides expansive coastal views and access to the river mouth, sandy beaches and surrounding natural landscapes.

The Crooked River is one of the district's defining waterways. Its lower reaches form a picturesque estuary characterised by tidal channels, sandy banks, wetlands and low-lying floodplain country.

At the river entrance, tidal movements, ocean waves and sediment transport continually influence the shape of the sandbanks and coastal shoreline.

The relationship between the river and surrounding landforms makes Gerroa especially interesting for studying coastal geomorphology, estuarine processes and environmental change.

South of the river mouth, Seven Mile Beach extends for approximately 12 kilometres towards Shoalhaven Heads. Its long expanse of sand, backed by dunes and coastal forest, forms one of the most recognisable natural landmarks of the region.

Much of the adjoining vegetation is protected within Seven Mile Beach National Park, which preserves important coastal habitats, native forests and dune environments.

The national park includes sheltered walking tracks, picnic areas and access routes connecting the coastal woodland with the beach.

Near Gerroa, Black Head forms a distinctive rocky coastal landmark, contrasting with the broad sandy shoreline immediately to the south.

Inland, the country rises towards the picturesque rural landscapes surrounding Gerringong and Berry. Grazing properties, wooded hills and winding roads illustrate the transition from coastal lowlands to the elevated slopes of the Illawarra hinterland.

The region also contains coastal wetlands, drainage channels and agricultural floodplains associated with the lower Crooked River catchment.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation and geographical reference information for interpreting this varied coastal environment.

Whether you're exploring Gerroa, studying coastal processes, investigating rural property or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Gerroa topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

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

For local planning, road conditions, coastal management and community information, consult Kiama Municipal Council.

For emergency and flood warnings, consult the NSW State Emergency Service.

The Gerroa district contains tidal waterways, exposed beaches, coastal wetlands, flood-prone flats and rocky shoreline areas subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall may cause flooding in the Crooked River catchment, affecting low-lying roads and access routes. Ocean beaches may experience dangerous rip currents, strong surf and changing sandbank conditions. Coastal dunes and protected vegetation are environmentally sensitive, and some areas have access restrictions. Always check current park alerts, tides, surf forecasts, road conditions and local flood warnings before travelling. Topographic maps are not substitutes for nautical charts, cadastral surveys, official flood studies or current emergency advice.
