Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map for the Timor Sea, 2019

One constituent map from a series of 27 maps showing Australia's maritime jurisdiction. The map depicts Australia's continental shelf as proclaimed in 2012 and was updated in December 2019 to reflect the 2018 Australia-Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty. Background imagery combines bathymetric data from Geoscience Australia and NASA's Blue Marble.
