🌿 Explore the Historic Hawkesbury Valley and Wilberforce
Discover the remarkable river landscapes, historic settlements and fertile floodplains of the Hawkesbury region in New South Wales with the Wilberforce 9030-1N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.
Covering Wilberforce and the surrounding Hawkesbury Valley north-west of Sydney, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, surveyors, civil engineers, environmental professionals, urban planners and emergency services.
Situated on the northern side of the Hawkesbury River, Wilberforce is one of the historic Macquarie towns established during the early colonial settlement of the Hawkesbury district. Its surrounding landscape combines productive agricultural land, river flats, wetlands, rural properties and expanding residential communities.
The map encompasses Wilberforce, Windsor, Richmond, Freemans Reach, Glossodia, Pitt Town, Ebenezer, Cattai, Oakville and Maraylya, together with surrounding rural settlements and natural features.
The Hawkesbury River dominates the region's geography, winding through broad alluvial plains and a succession of river bends and reaches. Its extensive floodplain system has shaped the district's agricultural development, settlement patterns and transport networks for more than two centuries.
Other significant geographical features include Pitt Town Lagoon, Longneck Lagoon, Bakers Lagoon, South Creek, Currency Creek and the wetland landscapes associated with the Hawkesbury floodplain.
The map also provides geographical coverage of Scheyville National Park, Pitt Town Nature Reserve, Cattai National Park and the historic rural landscapes around Ebenezer.
The combination of broad floodplains, low hills, natural wetlands, river crossings and established settlements makes detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable for understanding drainage, elevation and land use.
At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the Wilberforce topographic map provides detailed information about terrain, waterways, transport corridors, vegetation, settlements and surrounding rural landscapes.
Whether you're examining Hawkesbury floodplain geography, managing rural property, planning infrastructure or undertaking professional fieldwork, this map provides an excellent geographical reference.
Professionally printed by Mapworld and available in paper, waterproof DuPont™ Tyvek® and laminated finishes.

📍 Official NSW Mapping Source
This map is sourced from the NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series, providing authoritative geographical information about New South Wales' natural and built environment.
The series includes elevation contours, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation, buildings, geographical features, place names and coordinate references.
The Hawkesbury Valley contains extensive flood-prone land, rural properties and waterways subject to rapidly changing conditions. Significant rainfall can cause river flooding, road closures and isolation of low-lying communities. Always consult current flood warnings and local access information. Topographic maps provide valuable geographical context but are not substitutes for official flood studies, cadastral surveys or statutory planning documents.
