Description
The design of the 1:50 000 Map Series provides clear and accurate portrayal of topographic information, with symbols and map content giving enhanced depiction of buildings, hill shading and a simplified classification of vegetation.
This map features large tracts of temperate rainforest, being in the heart of takayna/Tarkine wilderness. The scenic area contains a number of tracks which attract bushwalkers and sightseers to its hilly terrain, rivers, streams and waterfalls, including the 40 metre high Philosopher Falls. The Savage River Mine is one of the states key mines, producing iron ore, while the town of Waratah supported a tin mine at Mount Bischoff during the late 19th/early 20th century and was Australia’s first town to have electric street lights. The town is now much smaller and has the unique feature of a waterfall in the town centre.
