🏔️ Explore the Remote High Country of Peppercorn and the Australian Alps

Discover the magnificent mountain landscapes of the northern Snowy Mountains in New South Wales with the Peppercorn 8626-4N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering the Peppercorn region and surrounding high country, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, wilderness explorers, environmental professionals, park rangers and emergency services.

Situated within the rugged Australian Alps, the Peppercorn region is characterised by forested mountain ridges, elevated plateaus, remote creek valleys and subalpine landscapes. The surrounding country includes parts of Kosciuszko National Park and Bimberi Nature Reserve, where extensive forests and mountain catchments create a remarkable environment for wilderness exploration.

The area lies within the broader northern Kosciuszko high country, near the Long Plain and Brindabella landscapes, making detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable for planning extended journeys through remote terrain.

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 planning a wilderness bushwalk, exploring mountain catchments or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Peppercorn topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
