Peak Hill SG50-08: Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

AUSTopo provides a digital topographic map covering the Peak Hill area in Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. It is part of a series of 516 maps that collectively cover the entire continent at this scale, the largest scale for full continental coverage. The map, produced by Geoscience Australia, contains natural and constructed features including roads, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours.

Use Cases

• Perform terrain analysis based on 50-meter contour intervals mentioned in the description.
• Map infrastructure networks based on road and rail data contained in the map.
• Conduct land cover studies based on vegetation information.
• Support regional planning based on administrative boundaries and hydrographic features.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia through a series of 516 maps.
• Provides topographic detail at a standardized scale of 1:250,000.
• 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 geospatial analysis.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
