Mount William 1:50,000 Topographic Map – Tasmania

An essential coastal map for navigating, planning and exploring wukalina / Mount William, Musselroe Bay and the pristine landscapes of Tasmania’s far northeast.

The Mount William 1:50,000 Topographic Map by TASMAP provides a clear and accurate representation of this remarkable national park, conservation and coastal environment. Produced in 2020, Edition 1 features enhanced building symbols, hill shading and simplified vegetation classification, making the landscape easier to interpret both in the field and during trip planning.

At 1:50,000 scale, 1 centimetre on the map represents 500 metres on the ground—an excellent balance between regional coverage and practical topographic detail.

The summit of wukalina / Mount William rises to 216 metres, rewarding walkers with panoramic views across the coastline and, in clear conditions, towards the Furneaux Islands in Bass Strait.

The park’s coastal heathlands support distinctive Xanthorrhoea grass trees, while its varied habitats provide refuge for an abundance of Tasmanian wildlife. Visitors may encounter kangaroos, wombats, wallabies, echidnas and a wide range of birdlife while exploring the area.

The Musselroe Bay Conservation Area is particularly popular with birdwatchers and campers. Farther south, the historic Eddystone Point Lighthouse, constructed from pink granite in 1889, stands 42 metres above sea level approximately 13 kilometres north of Ansons Bay.

With opportunities for walking, fishing, swimming, wildlife observation and beachside camping, this sheet covers one of Tasmania’s most beautiful and rewarding coastal destinations.
