Curnamona Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale Covering Australia

516 maps comprise the AUSTopo series, the largest-scale topographic map series covering the entire Australian continent. Each standard map sheet covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, depicting natural and constructed features including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. The series is produced by Geoscience Australia and includes about 50 special maps covering non-standard areas.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features from map sheets for transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for terrain modeling and watershed delineation.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land-use planning studies.
• Combine information from surrounding map sheets to create seamless regional geospatial datasets.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets.
• Provides the largest scale (1:250,000) topographic coverage for the continent.
• Contains multiple datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and uses the Universal Transverse Mercator projection.

Limitations

• Data is provided in PDF format only, requiring extraction for geospatial analysis.
• Map sheets may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise area-based queries.
• Sample data and specific column/attribute details are unavailable for review.
