Strzelecki Topographic Map Sheet at 1:250,000 Scale

516 maps comprise the AUSTopo series covering the entire continent of Australia at a 1:250,000 scale. Each standard sheet represents an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, containing natural and constructed features like infrastructure, vegetation, and hydrography. The series is produced by Geoscience Australia, with this specific sheet last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for terrain and watershed modeling.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land-use planning studies.
• Georeference map features using provided GDA94/GDA2020 coordinates and UTM projection for spatial analysis.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia through a series of 516 individual map sheets.
• Provides a standardized scale of 1:250,000, the largest scale for full continental coverage.
• Contains multiple feature types including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Limitations

• Data is provided in PDF format, requiring extraction or digitization for computational analysis.
• Map sheets may contain information from surrounding areas, potentially complicating precise boundary analysis.
• The specific temporal coverage for the features within this map sheet is not provided.
