Bauhinia Downs Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

Australia's Bauhinia Downs area is covered by this 1:250,000 scale digital topographic map from the AUSTopo series. The series comprises 516 standard maps covering the entire continent, each depicting natural and constructed features like infrastructure, vegetation, and hydrography. Data uses GDA94/GDA2020 datum and UTM projection.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for watershed and terrain modeling.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land-use planning studies.
• Georeference map features using provided GDA94/GDA2020 coordinates and UTM projection.

Strengths

• Part of a 516-map series providing the largest-scale topographic coverage for the entire Australian continent.
• Contains multiple feature layers including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.
• Provides coordinates in modern GDA94 and GDA2020 datums with UTM projection for accurate geospatial use.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring feature extraction for analytical use.
• Map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise area-of-interest analysis.
• The series includes about 50 non-standard area maps, which may have inconsistent sheet boundaries.
