Elkedra Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale for Australia

AUSTopo 1:250,000 digital map of the Elkedra region is part of a 516-map series covering the entire continent of Australia. Each standard map sheet depicts an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, containing natural and constructed features. The series represents the largest scale topographic map coverage for the entire Australian continent.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transport network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for hydrological and elevation modeling.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land use planning.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized national series comprising 516 topographic maps.
• Covers the entire continent of Australia at a consistent 1:250,000 scale.
• Includes multiple coordinate datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and UTM projection for geospatial accuracy.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring extraction for structured geospatial analysis.
• Map sheets may contain information from surrounding areas, potentially complicating precise boundary analysis.
• Approximately 50 maps in the series cover non-standard areas, requiring individual assessment.
