Mount Morgan 8931-1S Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Wollemi National Park, Wolgan River & Colo River Wilderness | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Sandstone Wilderness of Mount Morgan

Discover the extraordinary sandstone wilderness of the Greater Blue Mountains in New South Wales with the Mount Morgan 8931-1S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Located within the remote landscapes of Wollemi National Park, Mount Morgan rises to approximately 858 metres above sea level, surrounded by deeply dissected sandstone country, forested ridges and spectacular river valleys.

This detailed topographic map covers Mount Morgan, sections of the Wolgan River and Colo River, and the rugged terrain surrounding the upper reaches of the Colo wilderness.

Here, ancient sandstone formations have been shaped by millions of years of erosion, creating an intricate landscape of steep escarpments, narrow gullies, isolated ridgelines and winding waterways.

The surrounding Wollemi wilderness forms part of the World Heritage-listed Greater Blue Mountains Area, celebrated for its remarkable natural landscapes, extensive eucalypt forests and outstanding biodiversity.

For experienced bushwalkers, environmental researchers, wilderness navigators and emergency services, understanding this demanding terrain requires mapping that reveals considerably more than roads and place names.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the Mount Morgan map provides the detail needed to interpret contours, identify drainage systems, recognise ridgelines and plan routes through remote wilderness country.

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