Rudall SF51-10: Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

A digital topographic map from the AUSTopo series covering the entire continent of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. The series comprises 516 standard maps, each covering approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, and is produced by Geoscience Australia. It contains natural and constructed features including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and elevation modeling based on 50m contour intervals
• Infrastructure and land-use planning based on road, rail, and administrative boundary data
• Environmental and hydrological studies based on vegetation and hydrography features
• Geographic reference and base mapping for regional projects based on standardized sheet coverage

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia at its largest published topographic scale
• Series comprises 516 standard maps with consistent coverage of approximately 150km by 110km areas
• 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 in PDF format, which may require conversion for geospatial analysis
• Freshness should be verified despite a last updated date of 2026-03 25
