KM50-R: Austrian National Topographic Map at 1:50,000 Scale

A 50 km x 50 km tile from the digital state map covering the entire Austrian territory at a basic scale of 1:50,000. The cartographic model is free of blades, georeferenced, and updated periodically for significant infrastructural changes. This tile is one of 63 that together form the complete national map, derived from which are the Austrian maps 1:50,000 (ÖK50) and 1:25,000 (ÖK25V).

Use Cases

• Create detailed base maps for regional planning based on the 1:50,000 scale cartographic model.
• Perform geospatial analysis of Austrian infrastructure using the updated, nationwide digital map.
• Derive or validate other map products like the ÖK50 or ÖK25V based on the foundational KM50-R model.

Strengths

• Covers the entire Austrian territory at a consistent 1:50,000 scale.
• The data is georeferenced, enabling integration with other spatial datasets.
• One of 63 tiles that form a complete national coverage.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
