Detailed NSW Northern Tablelands Topographic Mapping | Hernani, Guy Fawkes River National Park, Marengo, Bald Hills, Waterfall Way & Ebor Hinterland | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Highland Forests and River Catchments of Hernani

Discover the rolling pastoral highlands, native forests and rugged eastern escarpment of the New South Wales Northern Tablelands with the Hernani 9337-2N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Hernani and surrounding country west of Dorrigo and north of Ebor, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, bushwalkers, forestry professionals, environmental researchers, conservation managers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Hernani district occupies an elevated landscape roughly 1,200 metres above sea level, where open grazing country, native woodland and winding mountain roads meet the forested headwaters of the northern NSW river systems.

The rural locality of Hernani lies along the Armidale–Dorrigo road corridor, near Waterfall Way. Its surrounding countryside contains pastoral properties, scattered homesteads, local creeks and woodland remnants.

The map provides geographical coverage relevant to Hernani, its surrounding rural roads, forested ridgelines and the western approaches to Guy Fawkes River National Park.

An important characteristic of the area is the transition between the comparatively gentle relief of the highland grazing country and the steep mountain valleys associated with the Guy Fawkes River catchment.

The Guy Fawkes River cuts through ancient geological formations as it flows northwards from the Ebor highlands towards the Clarence River system.

Over millions of years, erosion has created a spectacular landscape of narrow gorges, wooded spurs, rocky escarpments and deeply incised waterways.

Nearby Guy Fawkes River National Park protects extensive wilderness, significant native forests and habitats for threatened wildlife, including the brush-tailed rock-wallaby.

The park's landscapes range from high-altitude woodland and forested plateaux to sheltered rainforest gullies and rugged river valleys.

To the east and southeast, the Dorrigo Plateau forms part of the wider elevated region known for high rainfall, productive agricultural land and remarkable natural vegetation.

The surrounding rural districts include Meldrum, Bald Hills, Marengo and Ebor, each contributing to the geographical character of the Northern Tablelands. Some of these localities extend onto adjoining sheets.

Waterfall Way, the scenic highway connecting Armidale with Dorrigo and the NSW North Coast, provides an important transport corridor through this highland landscape.

Rural connecting routes include Hernani Station Road, Bald Hills Road, Marengo Road and local property access tracks, providing reference points for understanding settlement and land use.

South of Hernani, Ebor Falls is one of the region's most celebrated natural landmarks. Here, the Guy Fawkes River plunges over the edge of the volcanic plateau in two magnificent waterfalls, descending approximately 100 metres in total.

The surrounding rocky cliffs and column-like volcanic formations reveal the geological influence of ancient volcanic activity near Ebor.

The falls are part of the wider Guy Fawkes River National Park landscape and are best explored in detail using the adjoining Ebor sheet.

Farther east, Mount Hyland Nature Reserve and the forests of the Dorrigo hinterland provide additional examples of the region's highland ecosystems.

The combination of pastoral country, forested watersheds, mountain roads and significant conservation areas makes Hernani particularly valuable for rural property management, environmental research and geographical education.

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

Whether you're investigating rural property, studying mountain catchments, exploring authorised forest access routes or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Hernani topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

The Hernani district contains elevated rural country, steep forested valleys, isolated creek crossings and unsealed roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause local flooding, erosion and road damage, while winter frost, fog and occasional snow or ice can affect travel at higher elevations. Bushfires, fallen trees and forestry operations may also restrict access. Some rural and forest tracks cross private property or are closed management routes; their appearance on a topographic map does not establish public access rights. Always check current road conditions, national park alerts and weather forecasts, respect property boundaries and carry suitable navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies or current emergency advice.
