Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Mount Jagungal & Kosciuszko National Park | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏔️ Explore the Remote Wilderness of Mount Jagungal

Discover one of Australia's most magnificent alpine wilderness landscapes with the Jagungal 8525-1S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Mount Jagungal and the surrounding northern Kosciuszko wilderness, this detailed map provides essential geographical information for bushwalkers, alpine adventurers, environmental professionals and emergency services.

Rising to approximately 2,061 metres, Mount Jagungal is one of the most distinctive peaks in the Snowy Mountains. Its isolated summit dominates a remarkable landscape of open alpine grasslands, granite outcrops, winding mountain streams and remote high-country valleys.

Unlike the more accessible resort areas of Kosciuszko National Park, the Jagungal Wilderness offers an extraordinary sense of remoteness. Historic mountain huts, sections of the Australian Alps Walking Track and extensive alpine landscapes make this region particularly appealing to experienced bushwalkers.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map reveals the terrain through detailed contour lines, waterways, walking tracks, vegetation and natural features.

Whether you're planning a multi-day wilderness walk, exploring the Australian Alps Walking Track or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Jagungal topographic map provides an invaluable geographical reference.

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