Key Points

  • To provide a comprehensive topographic representation of Australia at a 1:250,000 scale.
  • Produced as part of the AUSTopo map series covering the entire continent of Australia.
  • Consists of 516 maps, each covering approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude.
  • Incorporates information from surrounding sheets for optimized space utilization.
  • Includes various features like infrastructure, hydrography, and vegetation.
  • The digital maps allow for detailed exploration of Australia's terrain and features.
  • Each map represents an area about 150 kilometers wide and at least 110 kilometers tall.
  • Special maps are available for non-standard regions, combining land and ocean features.

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.
