Edjudina SH51-06: 1:250,000 Scale Digital Topographic Map of Australia

516 maps comprise the AUSTopo series, covering the entire continent of Australia at a 1:250,000 scale. Each standard map sheet covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, showing natural and constructed features including roads, rail, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. The data is provided by Geoscience Australia and was last updated on 2026-03 25.

Use Cases

• Create regional basemaps for planning based on road and rail infrastructure data.
• Analyze terrain and elevation patterns based on contour lines at a 50-meter interval.
• Model hydrological networks based on hydrography features.
• Assess land cover and vegetation patterns for environmental studies.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets.
• Provides topographic detail at a standardized 1:250,000 scale, the largest scale for full continental coverage.
• Includes multiple coordinate datums (GDA94, GDA2020, AHD) and uses the Universal Transverse Mercator projection.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The map may contain information from surrounding sheets, which could affect precise boundary analysis.
