Loongana Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

Loongana SH52-09 is a digital topographic map from the AUSTopo series covering Australia at a 1:250,000 scale. The series comprises 516 maps, the largest scale providing full continental coverage, with each standard map depicting an area of about 1.5 by 1 degrees. It contains natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for terrain modeling and watershed studies.
• Use vegetation and administrative boundary data for land use classification and planning.
• Georeference map features using GDA94/GDA2020 coordinates and UTM projection for spatial analysis.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized series of 516 maps providing complete coverage of Australia.
• Contains multiple feature layers including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.
• Provides geographic coordinates in modern datums (GDA94, GDA2020) with UTM projection.

Limitations

• Data is provided as a static PDF, requiring extraction for computational analysis.
• Map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise area-of-interest analysis.
• The description notes 'approximate coverage' for sheet boundaries, indicating potential edge inaccuracies.
