Lander River SF53-01: AUSTopo 1:250,000 Scale Digital Topographic Map

Australia is covered by this 1:250,000 scale digital topographic map series from AUSTopo, comprising 516 standard sheets. Each standard map covers approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, showing natural and constructed features like infrastructure, vegetation, and contours. The data is provided by Geoscience Australia and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Perform terrain analysis based on 50-meter contour intervals mentioned in the description.
• Map transportation networks based on described road and rail infrastructure.
• Analyze land cover and hydrography based on described vegetation and water features.
• Create regional base maps for planning based on described administrative boundaries and localities.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia at its largest published topographic scale.
• Comprises 516 map sheets, providing systematic 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 geospatial analysis.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-03 26).
