Richmond Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

AUSTopo 1:250,000 digital map of the Richmond area, part of a 516-map series covering Australia. The map depicts natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. It uses GDA94/GDA2020 datum and UTM projection, provided as a digital PDF.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for watershed and terrain modeling.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land-use planning.
• Georeference map features using its GDA94/GDA2020 datum and UTM projection for integration with other spatial data.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized 516-map series providing continent-wide coverage of Australia.
• Contains multiple feature layers including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.
• Uses modern geodetic datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and AHD for vertical reference.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring extraction for analytical use.
• Map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise area-of-interest analysis.
