Noonkanbah SE51-12 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Fitzroy River floodplains, rugged ranges, and culturally significant West Kimberley country—mapped with authority

Covering Noonkanbah and the surrounding Fitzroy River country of Western Australia’s West Kimberley, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet provides a clear, authoritative regional view of a landscape shaped by powerful seasonal waterways, broad floodplains, pastoral history, and enduring Aboriginal connection to Country.

The sheet centres on the Fitzroy River corridor and Noonkanbah–Yungngora country, extending across the St George Ranges and towards communities and localities including Wangkatjungka, Christmas Creek, Djugerari, and Cherrabun. River channels, billabongs, creeks, station tracks, communities, and rugged uplands are presented in their wider regional context—making the map valuable for land managers, community organisations, researchers, infrastructure teams, emergency coordinators, and experienced remote-area travellers.

At 1:250,000 scale (1 cm = 2.5 km), this is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire Australian continent—ideal for regional planning, land management, emergency coordination, and serious outback navigation.
