Map Sheets for the Heysen Trail

There are a series of 8 map sheets published by the Department for Environment and Water (DEW).

Prior to this two guide books were published by DEW. Each book contained 54 or 56 individual 1:50 000 topographic maps (1cm = 500m), each covering half of the Heysen Trail. Both of the guidebooks are now out of print and no longer available.

From time to time, it is necessary to realign sections of the Heysen Trail. View details of re-routes.

These map sheets are available for purchase online. The mapsheets are also available from leading outdoor stores and map retailers.

There are 8 maps in the map sheet series:

Map sheets 1, 2, 3, and 4 replaced the Southern Guidebook.

Map sheets 5, 6, 7 and 8 replaced the Northern Guidebook.
