Jundah Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

516 maps comprise the AUSTopo series, the largest-scale topographic map series covering the entire Australian continent. Each standard map sheet depicts a 1.5° by 1° area, showing natural and constructed features like roads, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. The series is produced by Geoscience Australia, with data referenced to GDA94/GDA2020 datums and UTM projection.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for watershed modeling and terrain studies.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land-use planning.
• Combine adjacent map sheets where standard sheets are largely ocean to create continuous coastal maps.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets.
• Provides topographic detail at a standardized 1:250,000 scale (1 cm = 2.5 km).
• Includes both natural features (vegetation, hydrography, contours) and constructed features (roads, rail).

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring extraction for GIS or computational analysis.
• Map sheets may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise boundary-based queries.
