Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale for Normanton Region

516 maps provide complete topographic coverage of Australia at a 1:250,000 scale, where 1 cm represents 2.5 km on the ground. Produced by Geoscience Australia as part of the AUSTopo series, this specific sheet covers the Normanton SE54-07 area. The data was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze road and rail infrastructure density and connectivity across the mapped region.
• Model terrain and elevation using the 50-meter contour intervals for hydrological or construction planning.
• Identify vegetation cover and hydrographic features like rivers and lakes for ecological studies.
• Extract administrative boundaries and locality names for regional planning and demographic analysis.

Strengths

• Complete continental coverage of Australia through 516 individual map sheets.
• Standard map sheets cover approximately 150 km east-west by 110 km north-south, providing consistent spatial units.
• Contains multiple coordinate datums (GDA94, GDA2020, AHD) and uses UTM projection for geospatial accuracy.

Limitations

• Data is provided in PDF format, which is not natively machine-readable for analysis without conversion.
• Specific row/feature counts and file sizes for the digital data are not provided.
• The map may contain information from surrounding sheets, which could complicate precise boundary analysis for the core area.
