Camden Sound Special SD51-15: 1:250,000 Scale Australian Topographic Map

Geoscience Australia Data provides the Camden Sound Special SD51-15, a digital topographic map from the AUSTopo series. It is one of approximately 50 special maps in the series covering a non-standard area, likely combining land and ocean features. The map contains natural and constructed features including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours, with coordinates in GDA94/GDA2020 datum and UTM projection.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and elevation modeling based on 50-meter contour intervals.
• Infrastructure planning and routing based on depicted road and rail networks.
• Environmental and land cover studies based on vegetation and hydrography features.
• Map production and georeferencing based on the standardized GDA94/GDA2020 datum and UTM projection.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized national series of 516 maps covering the entire Australian continent.
• Contains multiple feature classes including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.
• Provides geographic data in modern datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and a standard projection (UTM).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is provided only in PDF format, which may limit machine-readability and analysis.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
