Shark Bay Topographic Map with Satellite Overlay

A 250 K scale topographic map covering a 160 km by 238 km area of Western Australia. It depicts natural and constructed features including road infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50m contours for the Francois Peron National Park and Shark Bay Marine Park. The reverse side provides a satellite image overlay with major roads and tourism features.

Use Cases

• Analyze vegetation and hydrography features against 50m contour intervals for terrain modeling.
• Overlay road infrastructure and administrative boundaries on satellite imagery for regional planning.
• Map tourism features and facilities within the World Heritage Area for visitor management.

Strengths

• Covers a substantial 160 km by 238 km geographic area with detailed 50m contour intervals.
• Provides dual representations with a standard topographic map and a satellite image overlay.
• Part of a national series of 513 maps covering the whole of Australia.

Limitations

• Data currency ranges from 1995 to 2009, with potential staleness for current features.
• Available only in static HTML, PDF, and JPEG formats, limiting direct geospatial analysis.
• Lacks tabular or vector data, restricting quantitative analysis of map features.
