Ravensthorpe SI51-05: 1:250,000 Scale Australian Topographic Map

Geoscience Australia Data provides the Ravensthorpe SI51-05 map as part of the AUSTopo series. It is one of 516 maps covering the entire continent of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000, with each standard sheet covering approximately 1.5 by 1 degrees. The map contains natural and constructed features including roads, rail, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis based on 50-meter contour intervals mentioned in the description
• Infrastructure planning based on road and rail network data
• Environmental studies based on vegetation and hydrography features
• Cartographic reference and base map creation based on standardized topographic features

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia through a series of 516 maps
• Provides topographic data at a standardized scale of 1:250,000
• Includes multiple feature types such as infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is provided as a PDF, which may limit direct machine-readability for analysis
