🏞️ Explore the Historic Lakeshores and Mountain Landscapes of Old Adaminaby

Discover the expansive alpine lake, sheltered bays and historic high-country landscapes of the New South Wales Snowy Mountains with the Old Adaminaby 8625-4N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Old Adaminaby, Anglers Reach and a substantial section of Lake Eucumbene, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, anglers, campers, environmental professionals, rural landowners, surveyors and emergency services.

The Lake Eucumbene landscape is one of the most distinctive geographical features of the Snowy Mountains. Created by damming the Eucumbene River as part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme, it is the scheme's largest water storage.

Its intricate shoreline contains numerous inlets, peninsulas, islands and sheltered bays, surrounded by rolling high-country grasslands, wooded ridges and mountain slopes.

The map provides coverage relevant to Old Adaminaby, Anglers Reach, Eucumbene Dam, Braemar Bay, Eucumbene Cove, Yens Bay, Billyo Cove, Mount Hudson and Mount Cobrabald.

One of the district's most significant landmarks is Old Adaminaby, the remains of the original township that was partially inundated following construction of Eucumbene Dam in the 1950s.

More than 100 buildings were relocated or dismantled as residents moved to the new township of Adaminaby. During periods of low water, remnants of the original streets, building foundations and other structures can become visible.

The Old Adaminaby Cemetery and historic township remains preserve an important connection with the area's pastoral history and the remarkable engineering achievements of the Snowy Mountains Scheme.

Nearby, Anglers Reach occupies elevated country overlooking Lake Eucumbene. This small lakeside settlement is particularly popular with trout anglers and visitors exploring the northern Snowy Mountains.

The lake's long shoreline, numerous bays and changing water levels create a complex landscape of considerable interest to anglers, boaters and environmental researchers.

Prominent local geographical features include Braemar Head, Hallstrom Island, Cygnet Island, Middlingbank Reach, Addicumbene Reach and the Eucumbene River valley.

Surrounding mountain terrain includes Mount Hudson, Mount Cobrabald, Bald Hill and Arsenic Ridge, providing useful elevation and navigation references.

The wider district forms part of the northern approaches to Kosciuszko National Park, where alpine forests, mountain grasslands and high-country waterways create an exceptional natural environment.

The landscape is particularly valuable for studying water storage, catchment management, alpine geography and historical settlement.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contour information, waterways, access routes and geographical features for interpreting the lake's surrounding terrain.

Whether you're exploring Old Adaminaby's history, planning a Lake Eucumbene fishing trip, investigating rural property or undertaking professional fieldwork, this map provides an excellent geographical reference.
