🌿 Explore the Landscapes of Nowra and the Shoalhaven

Discover the remarkable river valleys, coastal plains and forested landscapes of the Shoalhaven region on the NSW South Coast with the Nowra 9028-3S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Nowra and its surrounding countryside, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, environmental professionals, surveyors, engineers, rural land managers and emergency services.

Situated on the southern banks of the Shoalhaven River, Nowra occupies a distinctive landscape where broad river flats, rural farmland and urban development meet the rugged sandstone country of the South Coast hinterland.

The region includes Nowra, Bomaderry, North Nowra, Terara, the Shoalhaven River and Bomaderry Creek, with surrounding forests, waterways and agricultural landscapes creating a fascinating geographical contrast.

The Shoalhaven River is one of the region's defining natural features, shaping its floodplains, settlement patterns and agricultural development. Nearby, the sandstone gorge of Bomaderry Creek illustrates the dramatic changes in terrain that make detailed topographic mapping so valuable.

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

Whether you're exploring the Nowra hinterland, examining river catchments, planning infrastructure or undertaking professional fieldwork, this topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
