The mapped region includes Shooters Hill, Gurnang State Forest, Tuglow, Sugarloaf and the surrounding forested highlands, where quiet mountain roads and forestry tracks traverse some of the most picturesque country in the Central Tablelands.

The area is particularly well known for its cool-climate forests, occasional winter snowfall and proximity to the rugged landscapes of the Greater Blue Mountains.

The terrain includes numerous waterways and drainage features, including Dingo Dell Creek and Jaunter Creek, together with forested ridgelines and remote valleys that make detailed topographic mapping especially useful.

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 Oberon high country, planning a forest walk, investigating mountain catchments or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Shooters Hill topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
