Marree Topographic Map At 1:250000 Scale For Australia

516 maps comprise the AUSTopo series, the largest-scale topographic map collection covering the entire Australian continent. Each standard map sheet depicts an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, containing natural and constructed features like infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. The series is produced by Geoscience Australia, with data referenced to GDA94/GDA2020 datums and projected in Universal Transverse Mercator.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features from map sheets 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 and environmental studies.
• Combine non-standard special map sheets covering largely ocean areas with landward neighbors for coastal zone management.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets at a consistent 1:250,000 scale.
• Includes approximately 50 special maps designed to cover non-standard areas, optimizing land coverage.
• Contains multiple referenced datums (GDA94, GDA2020, AHD) and a standard UTM projection for geospatial accuracy.

Limitations

• Data is provided in static PDF format, requiring feature extraction or digitization for computational analysis.
• Map sheets may contain information from surrounding sheets, which could complicate precise spatial queries for edge features.
