Burnt Down Scrub Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 1999 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. The reserve is 8 km NNW of the junction of the Mann and Clarence Rivers, 15 km SW of Baryugil and is separated by 4 km of cleared land from the Redbank Creek area of Washpool National Park. The reserve is included under Portions 94 and 99 of the Parish of Carnham and the County of Drake.

The vegetation of Burnt Down Scrub Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale1:25 000). Five communities are defined based on PATN analysis. Five communities are mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Most communities are of Open Forest and Closed Forest structure. The distribution of communities is related to past disturbances, particularly fire but also drainage and protection from the west. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries. All communities are considered adequately represented in the current reserve network.
