Curdimurka Topographic Map Sheet at 1:250,000 Scale

Australia's AUSTopo series provides 516 digital topographic maps covering the entire continent at a 1:250,000 scale. Each standard map sheet depicts an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, containing features like road infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. The series is produced by Geoscience Australia and includes about 50 special maps for non-standard areas.

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.
• Combine map sheets with landward neighbors to maximize spatial coverage for coastal studies.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets.
• Provides topographic data at a standardized 1:250,000 scale, the largest scale for full continental coverage.
• Contains multiple natural and constructed features including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring extraction for geospatial analysis.
• Map sheets may contain information from surrounding sheets, which could complicate precise boundary analysis.
• The specific sheet 'Curdimurka SH53 -08' is a single tile, requiring combination with others for broader regional studies.
