Parachilna SH54-13: 1:250,000 Digital Topographic Map of Australia

516 maps comprise the AUSTopo series, covering the entire continent of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. Each standard map sheet covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude. Geoscience Australia Data produced this digital PDF map, which was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Planning road and rail infrastructure projects based on depicted transport networks.
• Analyzing terrain and elevation for environmental studies based on 50-meter contour intervals.
• Mapping vegetation and hydrographic features for land management and conservation.
• Referencing administrative boundaries and localities for regional governance and services.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets.
• Provides topographic detail at a scale of 1:250,000, the largest scale for full continental coverage.
• Includes natural and constructed features such as roads, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
