Gunanya SF51-14: Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

AUSTopo digital topographic map sheet covering part of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. The map series comprises 516 standard sheets and about 50 special maps, covering the entire continent with features including roads, rail, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. Geoscience Australia Data provides the map in PDF format, last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and elevation modeling based on 50-meter contour intervals
• Infrastructure planning and routing based on road and rail network data
• Land cover and environmental studies based on vegetation and hydrography features
• Geographic reference and boundary verification based on administrative boundaries and localities

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets
• Provides topographic detail at a scale of 1:250,000, the largest scale covering the whole continent
• Contains multiple natural and constructed features including contours, infrastructure, and vegetation

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is provided in PDF format, which may require extraction for computational analysis
