Brunette Downs Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

Geoscience Australia Data provides a digital topographic map of the Brunette Downs area as part of the AUSTopo series covering Australia at a 1:250,000 scale. The series comprises 516 standard maps, each covering approximately 150 by 110 kilometers, and includes about 50 special maps for non-standard areas. It features natural and constructed features like road infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contour intervals.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour interval data for watershed modeling and flood risk assessment.
• Use vegetation and administrative boundary layers for land cover classification and planning studies.
• Georeference map features using GDA94/GDA2020 coordinates and UTM projection for GIS integration.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized national series of 516 topographic maps covering the entire continent.
• Provides detailed features including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contour intervals.
• Offers coordinate data in modern datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and AHD for vertical reference.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring extraction for structured geospatial analysis.
• Map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise area-of-interest queries.
