Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction in the Timor Sea, 2014 Map

A June 2014 map depicting Australia's maritime jurisdiction in the Timor Sea, updated to conform with Geoscience Australia's 2014 maritime boundaries data. It is one of 27 constituent maps in the 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series' (GeoCat 71789). The map shows the continental shelf as proclaimed in the 2012 proclamation under the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973.

Use Cases

• Analyze maritime boundaries and jurisdiction based on the depicted continental shelf limits.
• Study bathymetric features using the background image derived from 2009 and 1997 grids.
• Reference legal and treaty implications of the proclaimed maritime zones.
• Integrate as a base layer for regional marine spatial planning or resource mapping.

Strengths

• Map is part of a standardized national series of 27 constituent maps.
• Background bathymetry combines data from Geoscience Australia's 2009 9 arc second grid and Smith and Sandwell, 1997.
• Conforms to the authoritative 'Australian Maritime Boundaries 2014' data from Geoscience Australia.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is a static map (PDF) from 2014; freshness should be verified for current applications.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
