Lincoln Special Topographic Map of Australia at 1:250,000 Scale

Geoscience Australia Data provides the Lincoln Special SI53-11 map from the AUSTopo series covering Australia at a 1:250,000 scale. This series comprises 516 maps, with approximately 50 special maps like this one covering non-standard areas. The map contains natural and constructed features such as road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for terrain modeling and watershed delineation.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land use planning.
• Combine map sheet information from surrounding areas for regional geospatial studies.

Strengths

• Part of a series of 516 maps providing continent-wide coverage of Australia.
• Contains multiple feature layers including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.
• Uses standardized geodetic datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and UTM projection.

Limitations

• Data is provided in PDF format, requiring extraction for geospatial analysis.
• Map may contain information from surrounding sheets, complicating precise area-of-interest queries.
• Sample data and specific column/attribute schemas are unavailable for review.
