Moora SH50-10: Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

516 maps comprise the AUSTopo series, which covers the entire continent of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. Each standard map sheet covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, showing natural and constructed features. The data is provided by Geoscience Australia and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis based on 50-meter contour intervals mentioned in the description.
• Infrastructure planning based on road and rail network data.
• Environmental studies based on hydrography and vegetation information.
• Land navigation and orientation based on locality and administrative boundary features.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets.
• Shows features at a scale of 1:250,000, the largest scale for full continental coverage.
• Contains multiple data 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 direct geospatial analysis.
