Betoota SG54-06: Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

516 maps comprise the AUSTopo series, which covers the entire continent of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. Each standard map sheet covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude. The maps, produced by Geoscience Australia, contain natural and constructed features including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and visualization based on 50-meter contour intervals.
• Infrastructure planning and routing based on road and rail network data.
• Environmental and land-use studies based on vegetation and hydrography features.
• Creating regional base maps for GIS projects based on standardized sheet coverage.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets.
• Provides topographic detail at a scale of 1:250,000, the largest scale for full continental coverage.
• Includes multiple coordinate datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and projections (UTM).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is provided in PDF format, which may require conversion for direct geospatial analysis.
