Mount Young Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

Mount Young SD53-15 is a digital topographic map from the AUSTopo series covering Australia at a 1:250,000 scale. It contains natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contour intervals. The map is part of a 516-map series, the largest scale covering the entire continent.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for terrain and watershed modeling.
• Identify vegetation and administrative boundaries for land-use and environmental planning.

Strengths

• Part of a 516-map series providing continent-wide coverage at a consistent 1:250,000 scale.
• Contains multiple feature layers including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.
• Provides coordinates in modern datums (GDA94, GDA2020) with UTM projection for geospatial accuracy.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring extraction for geospatial or analytical use.
• Map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise area-based analysis.
• The series includes about 50 non-standard area maps, which may differ in coverage from the standard sheets.
