Munro SE51-14: Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

Geoscience Australia Data provides the Munro SE51-14 map, part of the AUSTopo series covering the entire continent at a 1:250,000 scale. The series comprises 516 standard maps and about 50 special maps, each depicting natural and constructed features like infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours. The data was last updated on 2026-03-25.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and elevation modeling based on contour lines with a 50m interval.
• Infrastructure planning and routing based on depicted road and rail networks.
• Environmental and land cover studies based on vegetation and hydrography features.
• Creating regional base maps for GIS projects based on the standardized 1:250,000 scale coverage.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia at its largest published topographic scale.
• Series comprises 516 standard maps, providing systematic national coverage.
• Contains multiple feature 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.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
