Thargomindah SG54-16: Australian Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

Australia is covered by this digital topographic map series at a scale of 1:250,000, comprising 516 standard maps. The series, produced by Geoscience Australia, shows natural and constructed features including roads, rail, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. The data uses GDA94/GDA2020 datum and UTM projection and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Route planning and infrastructure analysis based on road and rail network data
• Terrain modeling and elevation analysis based on 50-meter contour intervals
• Land cover and environmental studies based on vegetation and hydrography features
• Regional planning and administrative boundary reference based on depicted localities and boundaries

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 maps, providing national consistency
• Largest scale (1:250,000) at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent
• 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 direct geospatial analysis
