Maps
You can download final versions of the maps below. Click on one of the numbered areas on the map below, or refer to the list under the map.
Important note
- These maps are not available as hard copy printed maps.
- Additional Aerial Photograph Interpretation has increased the map coverage in the north-west sector of the study area.
- Improved modelling has resulted in areas of previously unidentified vegetation being added (eg. in the Scheyville area).
- The maps have included non-Cumberland Plain communities, where these exist within the study area, to assist users identifying vegetation.
- The display, on the maps, of vegetation of different condition has been altered to more accurately reflect the differences that the data is able to detect reliably.
- The maps cannot be understood completely without the interpretation guidelines which you can download below.
- The NPWS wishes these maps to be widely distributed and they may be printed by anyone who wishes, either partially or in their entirety. They may not, however, be on-sold.

Interpretation guidelines
- give more detail about the mapping project
- include community descriptions and diagnostic species lists for the Cumberland Plain and non-Cumberland Plain communities, to assist users in identifying vegetation
- explain different codes and categories that were used in the project.
The interpretation guidelines are essential for a complete understanding of the maps.
Documents to download
CD of maps, guidelines and data
You can purchase a CD containing:
- the vegetation maps
- interpretation guidelines for the vegetation maps
- vegetation data layers in several different Geographic Information System (GIS) formats. These enable users to create their own maps of specific areas and also allow statistical analysis of the data. The data layers are now being used widely by councils and businesses to aid decision-making.
- profiles of the endangered ecological communities of the Cumberland Plain.
The cost of the CD is $220 plus $5.50 post and handling (GST included). To order a CD, fill in the form below. If you purchase a CD, you must sign a data licensing agreement for the data layers to prevent them being on-sold.
If you have any enquiries about the CD, please contact our administration officer.
