Bonney Well SF53-02: Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

AUSTopo - Australian Digital Topographic Map Series provides coverage of the entire continent at a scale of 1:250,000, comprising 516 standard maps. Each standard map covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, showing natural and constructed features including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours. The data is produced by Geoscience Australia and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and modeling based on contour data with a 50-meter interval.
• Infrastructure planning and routing based on road and rail network information.
• 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 standard maps.
• Represents the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent.
• Contains multiple natural and constructed feature types, including contours, infrastructure, and vegetation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au.
