Perenjori SH50-06: 1:250,000 Scale Topographic Map of Australia

Australia is covered by this 1:250,000 scale digital topographic map series from AUSTopo, comprising 516 standard sheets. Each standard sheet covers approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, showing natural and constructed features like roads, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. The data is provided by Geoscience Australia in PDF format with coordinates in GDA94/GDA2020 datum and UTM projection.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and elevation modeling based on 50-meter contour intervals.
• Infrastructure planning and routing based on road and rail network data.
• Environmental and land cover studies based on vegetation and hydrography features.
• Creating regional base maps for GIS projects based on standardized sheet coverage.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia at its largest published topographic scale.
• Series comprises 516 standard map sheets with consistent 1:250,000 scale.
• 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 only in PDF format, which may require conversion for direct GIS use.
