Kopperamanna Topographic Map At 1:250,000 Scale

516 maps comprise the AUSTopo series covering the entire continent of Australia at a 1:250,000 scale. Each standard map sheet depicts an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, containing natural and constructed features like infrastructure, vegetation, and hydrography. The series is produced by Geoscience Australia.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features from map sheets for transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for terrain and watershed modeling.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land-use planning studies.
• Georeference map sheets using UTM projection and GDA94/GDA2020 coordinates for GIS integration.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets.
• Provides topographic data at the largest scale (1:250,000) published for the whole continent.
• Includes multiple coordinate datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and UTM projection for geospatial accuracy.

Limitations

• Data is provided in PDF format, requiring extraction and vectorization for analytical use.
• Map sheets may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise area-based analysis.
• The series includes about 50 non-standard area maps, which may not follow consistent sheet lines.
