Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Yaouk Valley, Namadgi National Park & Australian Alps | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏔️ Explore the Remote Landscapes of Yaouk and the Australian Alps

Discover the rugged mountain landscapes of the Yaouk Valley in southern New South Wales with the Yaouk 8626-2N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Yaouk and the surrounding high country near the Australian Capital Territory border, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, wilderness explorers, environmental professionals, surveyors, rural land managers and emergency services.

Situated in the upper Murrumbidgee River catchment, Yaouk occupies a distinctive landscape of open grazing valleys, forested mountain ridges, winding creeks and remote high-country terrain.

The surrounding region lies close to the Namadgi National Park wilderness and the northern Kosciuszko high country, where the Southern Tablelands gradually rise into the rugged ranges of the Australian Alps.

The relationship between pastoral valleys, mountain catchments and densely forested ridgelines makes this an especially interesting landscape for detailed topographic exploration.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map reveals the terrain through detailed contour lines, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation and natural features.

Whether you're exploring the Yaouk Valley, planning a wilderness bushwalk, examining mountain catchments or undertaking professional fieldwork, this topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

Professionally printed by Mapworld and available in paper, waterproof DuPont™ Tyvek® and laminated finishes.
