Menindee Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

AUSTopo digital topographic maps cover the entire continent of Australia at a 1:250,000 scale, represented by 516 standard map sheets. Each sheet depicts natural and constructed features such as roads, vegetation, hydrography, and contours. The series is produced by Geoscience Australia and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze road and rail infrastructure networks across map sheets for transportation planning.
• Model terrain using 50-meter interval contour lines for elevation analysis.
• Assess vegetation coverage and hydrography features for ecological studies.
• Combine map sheets with landward neighbors to create coastal area maps.
• Use geographical coordinates and MGA datum (GDA94/GDA2020) for precise geospatial referencing.

Strengths

• 516 map sheets provide coverage for the entire continent of Australia.
• Standard map sheets cover an area of approximately 150 km east-west and 110 km north-south.
• Contains about 50 special maps for non-standard areas, optimizing coverage.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, limiting direct computational analysis.
• The map may contain information from surrounding sheets, which can complicate precise boundary definition.
• Sample data and specific column definitions are unavailable for detailed inspection.
