Marble Bar SF50-08: 1:250,000 Digital Topographic Map of Australia

AUSTopo digital topographic map covering the Marble Bar area at a scale of 1:250,000. The map is part of a series of 516 sheets providing the largest-scale topographic coverage for the entire Australian continent. It is produced by Geoscience Australia and contains natural and constructed features including roads, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and elevation modeling based on 50-meter contour intervals.
• Infrastructure planning and routing based on depicted road and rail networks.
• Environmental and land cover studies based on vegetation and hydrography features.
• Geographic reference and boundary identification based on administrative boundaries and localities.

Strengths

• Covers the entire Australian continent through a standardized series of 516 map sheets.
• Provides the largest-scale (1:250,000) published topographic coverage for Australia.
• Contains multiple feature types including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Limitations

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