Milparinka 1:250,000 Topographic Map with Hydrography and Contours

AUSTopo 1:250,000 digital maps provide coverage for the entire continent of Australia. The series comprises 516 standard maps and about 50 special maps, produced by Geoscience Australia. This specific sheet, Milparinka SH54-07, was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze road and rail infrastructure networks across the map sheet for transportation planning.
• Study hydrography and 50-meter interval contours for watershed and terrain modeling.
• Identify vegetation coverage and localities for ecological or land-use assessments.
• Extract administrative boundaries for regional governance or jurisdictional analysis.
• Combine map sheets using geographical coordinates and UTM projection for continental-scale mapping.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia at its largest published topographic scale.
• Series contains 516 standard maps providing systematic coverage.
• Includes natural and constructed features like infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Limitations

• Primary format is PDF, which may require conversion for direct geospatial analysis.
• Map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise boundary extraction.
• Specific row count, column structure, and sample data for the digital features are unknown.
