Cobourg Peninsula Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

516 maps comprise the AUSTopo series covering all of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. This special map covers a non-standard area of the Cobourg Peninsula, containing features like road infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. The data is provided in digital PDF format with geographical coordinates in GDA94/GDA2020 datum and UTM projection.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for terrain and watershed modeling.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land-use planning.
• Georeference map features using provided GDA94/GDA2020 coordinates and UTM projection for GIS integration.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized national series of 516 maps providing continent-wide coverage.
• Contains specific natural and constructed features including infrastructure, vegetation, and hydrography.
• Provides 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.
• As a special map covering a non-standard area, direct tiling with neighboring standard sheets may require adjustment.
• Map may contain information from surrounding sheets, which could complicate precise boundary definition.
