Drake County is a special way that land is divided up in New South Wales, Australia. It's one of 141 such areas, known as cadastral divisions. These divisions help keep track of land ownership and boundaries.
This county was named after a famous English explorer, Sir Francis Drake. He lived a long time ago, from 1540 to 1596. Drake County is located in the northern part of New South Wales. It's found near parts of the Clarence River, Nymboida River, and Mann River. A big part of this area is covered by the beautiful Washpool National Park.
