Tamworth 9035-1N Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW New England & Peel Valley Topographic Mapping | Tamworth, Peel River, Oxley Scenic Lookout, Flagstaff Mountain & Kamilaroi Walking Track | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the River Valleys and Mountain Landscapes of Tamworth

Discover the broad river valleys, historic townships and rugged surrounding hills of New South Wales' New England region with the Tamworth 9035-1N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Tamworth and the surrounding Peel Valley, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, urban planners, environmental professionals, surveyors, engineers, emergency services and geography students.

Tamworth occupies an important geographical position where the open agricultural country of the Peel Valley meets the wooded hills and elevated landscapes of the western New England region.

The city is internationally recognised as Australia's Country Music Capital, but its geographical setting is equally distinctive. The landscape combines urban development, fertile river flats, mountain slopes, native woodland and an extensive network of roads and transport corridors.

The map provides detailed coverage of Tamworth, the Peel River, East Tamworth, Oxley Scenic Lookout and surrounding residential, rural and hillside landscapes.

The Peel River is one of the district's defining geographical features. Flowing through Tamworth, it forms part of the wider Namoi River catchment and has played a central role in the area's agricultural development and settlement.

The river and its tributaries create an important network of drainage channels, floodplains and riparian environments. Their relationship with the growing city makes accurate topographic mapping particularly useful for understanding urban development, drainage patterns and local landforms.

To the east of central Tamworth, the landscape rises sharply into the hills surrounding Oxley Park and Flagstaff Mountain.

Oxley Scenic Lookout offers magnificent views across the city and the Peel River Valley, revealing the relationship between the urban landscape, surrounding agricultural plains and distant mountain ranges.

The lookout commemorates explorer and Surveyor General John Oxley, whose expedition passed through the Tamworth region in 1818.

The nearby Kamilaroi Walking Track winds through native bushland, linking the Tamworth Botanic Gardens, Tamworth Marsupial Park, Oxley Scenic Lookout and Flagstaff Mountain.

At approximately 826 metres above sea level, Flagstaff Mountain provides extensive views across the Peel Valley towards the surrounding ranges.

These hills are particularly interesting from a cartographic perspective. Their closely spaced contour lines illustrate the contrast between the relatively level valley floor and the steep slopes rising above the city.

The surrounding district also includes the residential and rural landscapes of East Tamworth, North Tamworth, Nemingha and the wider Peel Valley, with neighbouring mapping sheets extending coverage towards Duri, Winton and Goonoo Goonoo.

The broader region is associated with the Moonbi Range, Liverpool Range and New England highlands, whose elevated landscapes form an important part of Tamworth's geographical setting.

The area is part of the traditional Country of the Kamilaroi/Gamilaroi/Gomeroi people, whose continuing cultural connection to the Peel Valley forms an essential part of its history and identity.

The combination of a major regional city, river floodplains, forested hills, transport infrastructure and surrounding agricultural country makes Tamworth particularly valuable for urban planning, environmental management, surveying and geographical education.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, roads, tracks, waterways, buildings and geographical reference information for interpreting this varied terrain.

Whether you're investigating property, exploring local walking trails, studying the Peel River catchment or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Tamworth topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

For visitor information and access to local natural attractions, consult Oxley Scenic Lookout – Destination NSW.

For information about flood warnings and river conditions, consult the NSW State Emergency Service and Bureau of Meteorology.

The Tamworth region contains flood-prone river flats, steep hillsides, walking tracks, urban infrastructure and rural roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall across the Peel River catchment can cause flooding that affects roads, bridges and low-lying areas. Bushfires, severe storms and fallen trees may restrict access to surrounding bushland. Some walking trails include steep sections and require appropriate footwear and preparation. Always check current weather, flood warnings and local access conditions. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies or current emergency advice.
