Kalgoorlie SH51-09: 1:250,000 Scale Digital Topographic Map of Australia

AUSTopo - Australian Digital Topographic Map Series provides coverage of the entire continent at a scale of 1:250,000 across 516 standard and 50 special maps. Each standard map covers approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, showing natural and constructed features like roads, vegetation, hydrography, and contours. Geoscience Australia Data produced this series, with the specific Kalgoorlie SH51-09 map last updated on 2026-03 25.

Use Cases

• Plan infrastructure projects based on detailed road and rail network data.
• Analyze terrain and elevation using the 50-meter contour intervals.
• Conduct regional environmental studies based on vegetation and hydrography features.
• Perform geospatial analysis for land management using administrative boundaries and localities.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia at its largest published topographic scale.
• Comprises 516 standard maps, providing systematic national coverage.
• Contains multiple natural and constructed feature layers including infrastructure, vegetation, and contours.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is provided in PDF format, which may require conversion for computational analysis.
• The map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially affecting boundary consistency.
