An essential, high-precision topographic map for navigation, planning, environmental management, and alpine exploration.

Covering one of Australia’s most iconic high-country destinations, the Perisher Valley 1:25,000 topographic map, published by Land and Property Information (LPI) New South Wales, delivers a meticulous and highly detailed portrait of this rugged alpine region. Whether you're trekking the trails, coordinating emergency operations, managing environmental resources, or developing infrastructure in the Snowy Mountains, this map is designed to support precision, safety, and situational awareness in the field.

🏔️ About the Region

Located within Kosciuszko National Park, Perisher Valley sits at the heart of Australia’s alpine wilderness. Known for its snowfields, high-altitude terrain, and pristine rivers, it is one of the most topographically dynamic and environmentally sensitive landscapes in the country. This map captures all of it—from jagged ridgelines and icy creeks to man-made structures and seasonal access roads.

• Contour lines at 10-metre intervals for detailed elevation and slope information

• Hydrology: rivers, creeks, snowmelt streams, and drainage lines

• Transport infrastructure: sealed and unsealed roads, fire trails, walking tracks, ski runs, and access routes

• Built features: ski lodges, carparks, huts, power lines, structures, and chairlift stations

• Points of interest: lookouts, campgrounds, historic sites, alpine huts, and trailheads

• Vegetation and land cover: areas of alpine heath, snow gum woodland, cleared zones, and natural bush

• Boundaries: national park borders, leasehold areas, catchment zones, and administrative demarcations
