Durham Downs SG54-15: Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

AUSTopo 1:250,000 digital topographic map covering the Durham Downs area in Australia. This map is part of a series of 516 standard maps that provide the largest-scale topographic coverage of the entire continent, with each sheet covering approximately 1.5 by 1 degrees. The map, published by Geoscience Australia, contains natural and constructed features including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours.

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-use studies based on vegetation and hydrography features.
• Geographic reference and boundary verification based on administrative boundaries and localities.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized series of 516 maps providing continent-wide coverage.
• Contains multiple feature types including contours, infrastructure, vegetation, and hydrography.
• Provides coordinates in multiple datums (GDA94, GDA2020, AHD) and UTM projection.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au and the specific map sheet.
