Mount Drummond Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

Australia's Mount Drummond region is covered by a 1:250,000 scale digital topographic map from the AUSTopo series, which comprises 516 maps covering the entire continent. The map contains natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter interval contours.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter interval contour data for watershed and terrain modeling.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land use planning.
• Georeference map features using GDA94/GDA2020 coordinates and UTM projection for GIS integration.

Strengths

• Part of a series of 516 maps providing standardized coverage of the entire Australian continent.
• Represents the largest scale (1:250,000) at which published topographic maps cover Australia.
• Contains multiple feature types including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Limitations

• Data is provided as a static PDF, requiring feature extraction for quantitative analysis.
• Map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise area definition.
