Key Points

  • The aim is to provide a comprehensive and detailed topographic map of Australia at a 1:250,000 scale.
  • Created digital maps in a 1:250,000 scale format.
  • Covers entire continent of Australia with 516 standard maps.
  • Includes approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude per map.
  • Incorporates surrounding map sheet information for space efficiency.
  • Utilizes UTM projection with GDA94 and GDA2020 datums.
  • Offers the largest scale topographic coverage of Australia.
  • Includes features such as roads, rail, vegetation, and hydrography.
  • Contains about 50 special maps for non-standard areas.
  • Each standard map covers approximately 150 km by 110 km.

Abstract

This map is part of the AUSTopo - Australian Digital Topographic Map Series. It covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 516 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and at least 110 kilometres from north to south. The topographic map shows approximate coverage of the sheets. The map may contain information from surrounding map sheets to maximise utilisation of available space on the map sheet. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. Coordinates: Geographical and MGA Datum: GDA94, GDA2020, AHD. Projection: Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) Medium: Digital PDF download.
