Roebourne SF50-03: 1:250,000 Scale Digital Topographic Map of Australia

Australia is covered by this 1:250,000 scale digital topographic map series from Geoscience Australia, comprising 516 standard and 50 special map sheets. Each standard sheet covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, showing natural and constructed features like infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours. The data was last updated on 2026-03 25.

Use Cases

• Perform terrain analysis based on 50-meter contour intervals.
• Map transportation networks based on road and rail infrastructure data.
• Analyze land cover and hydrology based on vegetation and hydrography features.
• Create regional planning basemaps based on localities and administrative boundaries.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia at its largest published topographic scale.
• Comprises 516 map sheets, providing systematic coverage.
• Includes both natural and constructed features such as contours, hydrography, and infrastructure.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au.
