Callabonna Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

Callabonna SH54-06 is a digital topographic map from the AUSTopo series covering Australia at a 1:250,000 scale. The series comprises 516 standard maps, each covering approximately 1.5 by 1 degree, and includes features like infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. It is produced by Geoscience Australia and uses GDA94/GDA2020 datum with UTM projection.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for terrain modeling and watershed delineation.
• Identify vegetation cover and administrative boundaries for land-use planning and environmental studies.
• Georeference map features using provided GDA94/GDA2020 coordinates for integration with other spatial datasets.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized national series of 516 maps providing continent-wide coverage.
• Contains multiple feature layers including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.
• Uses modern geodetic datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and AHD for vertical reference.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring extraction for analytical use.
• Map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise boundary analysis.
• The 1:250,000 scale limits the detail for high-resolution applications.
