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

Austria's digital state map in a basic scale of 1:50,000, free of blades and georeferenced. The cartographic model is updated nationwide at periodic intervals and also on occasions of significant infrastructural change. This 50 km x 50 km tile is one of 63 tiles that together cover the entire territory of Austria.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and visualization based on the 1:50,000 scale topographic map.
• Geospatial reference for infrastructure planning based on the nationwide update process.
• Deriving derivative maps like the Austrian map 1:50,000 (ÖK50) based on the cartographic model.
• Land cover classification and change detection based on the georeferenced raster data.

Strengths

• Covers the entire Austrian territory at a consistent 1:50,000 scale.
• Free of blades and georeferenced, facilitating direct use in GIS applications.
• Nationwide updates occur periodically and for significant infrastructural changes.

Limitations

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