Tennant Creek Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

A digital topographic map covering the Tennant Creek region as part of the national AUSTopo series. It comprises one of 516 standard maps covering the entire continent of Australia at a 1:250,000 scale, produced by Geoscience Australia. The data was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze road and rail infrastructure networks using the map's transportation feature layers.
• Model terrain elevation and slope using the 50-meter interval contour lines.
• Identify vegetation coverage and hydrographic features like rivers and lakes for ecological studies.
• Locate administrative boundaries and localities for regional planning and demographic analysis.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 standardized maps.
• Provides a consistent 1:250,000 scale, the largest scale for full continental coverage.
• Contains multiple natural and constructed feature types including contours, infrastructure, and vegetation.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column count, and file size for this individual map sheet are unknown.
• Data is provided in PDF format, which may limit direct computational analysis without conversion.
• The map may contain information from surrounding sheets, which could affect precise boundary analysis.
