Boorabbin SH51-13: 1:250,000 Scale Topographic Map of Australia

Australia is covered by this digital topographic map series at a scale of 1:250,000, comprising 516 standard maps. Geoscience Australia Data produced the series, which shows natural and constructed features including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. The last update for this specific map sheet was recorded on 2026-03-25.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and elevation modeling based on 50-meter contour intervals.
• Infrastructure planning and routing based on road and rail network data.
• Environmental and land cover studies based on vegetation and hydrography features.
• Creating regional base maps for other thematic overlays based on standard geographic coverage.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia at its largest published topographic scale.
• Comprises 516 standard maps, each covering approximately 150 km by 110 km.
• Includes multiple coordinate datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and uses the UTM projection.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The map may contain information from surrounding sheets, which could affect boundary consistency.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
