Mount Anderson SE51-11: Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

AUSTopo - Australian Digital Topographic Map Series provides coverage of the entire continent at a scale of 1:250,000, comprising 516 standard and special maps. Each standard map covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, showing natural and constructed features including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours. The data is provided by Geoscience Australia and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and elevation modeling based on 50-meter contour intervals
• Infrastructure planning and routing based on road and rail network data
• Environmental and land cover studies based on vegetation and hydrography features
• Creating regional base maps for GIS projects based on standardized sheet coverage

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 maps, providing national consistency
• Represents the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent
• Contains multiple coordinate datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and projections (UTM) for flexibility

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is provided only in PDF format, which may limit direct machine-readability for analysis
