Shark Bay Topographic and Satellite Map for Western Australia

1995 to 2009 is the currency range for this map series, with 95% of maps having a reliability date of 1994 or later. The map covers a 160 by 238 kilometer area of Western Australia, depicting natural and constructed features like roads, vegetation, and contours. It includes the Francois Peron National Park and Shark Bay Marine Park, with a reverse side showing a satellite image overlay of roads and tourism features.

Use Cases

• Land cover classification based on vegetation and hydrography features.
• Infrastructure change detection over time based on road and constructed features.
• Terrain analysis based on 50-meter interval contours.
• Tourism and facility mapping based on the satellite image overlay of major roads and features.

Strengths

• Covers a specific 160 by 238 kilometer area with detailed topographic and satellite views.
• Part of a series covering all of Australia with 513 maps.
• Provides multiple coordinate and datum references (AGD66, GDA94, AHD) for geospatial accuracy.

Limitations

• Data currency ranges from 1995 to 2009, which may not reflect current conditions.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale ML tasks.
