Kurnalpi SH51-10: 1:250,000 Scale Digital Topographic Map of Australia

A digital topographic map from the AUSTopo series covering the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. The series comprises 516 standard maps, each covering approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, and is produced by Geoscience Australia. It contains natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and elevation modeling based on 50-meter contour intervals
• Infrastructure planning and routing based on road and rail network data
• Environmental and land cover studies based on vegetation and hydrography features
• Creating base maps for regional planning based on administrative boundaries and localities

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia at its largest published topographic scale
• Series comprises 516 standard maps with consistent spatial coverage
• Includes multiple coordinate datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and projections (UTM)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is provided in PDF format, which may require conversion for direct geospatial analysis
