Urandangi Topographic Map At 1:250,000 Scale

516 maps provide complete coverage of Australia at a 1:250,000 scale, representing the largest-scale topographic series for the continent. Each standard map sheet covers approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, depicting natural and constructed features. The series is produced by Geoscience Australia.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for watershed modeling and flood risk assessment.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land-use planning studies.
• Georeference map sheets using UTM projection and GDA94/GDA2020 datum for integration into GIS systems.

Strengths

• Comprises 516 map sheets providing complete coverage of the Australian continent.
• Represents the largest scale (1:250,000) at which published topographic maps cover all of Australia.
• Contains multiple feature layers including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring extraction for vector or raster analysis.
• Map sheets may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise area-based queries.
