Robinson River Special Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

Australia is covered by 516 topographic maps at a scale of 1:250,000, with approximately 50 special maps covering non-standard areas. Geoscience Australia produced this digital map series, which includes natural and constructed features like roads, vegetation, and contours. The data was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze road and rail infrastructure patterns across the Robinson River area using the map's transportation features.
• Model terrain elevation and slope using the 50-meter interval contour lines for hydrological or engineering studies.
• Identify vegetation cover types and administrative boundaries for land management and conservation planning.
• Combine this special map sheet with neighboring standard sheets to create a continuous topographic coverage for regional analysis.

Strengths

• 516 maps provide coverage for the entire continent of Australia.
• Contour lines are provided at a 50-meter interval for elevation detail.
• Map scale of 1:250,000 is the largest scale covering the entire continent.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, which is not directly machine-readable for analysis.
• The map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise boundary definitions.
• Sample data and specific column structures for vector data are unavailable.
