Urapunga Topographic Map Sheet At 1:250,000 Scale

AUSTopo - Australian Digital Topographic Map Series provides 516 topographic maps covering the entire continent of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. Each standard map sheet covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, depicting features like road infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for 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.
• Combine map sheets where standard sheets are largely ocean for coastal region studies.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 map sheets.
• Largest scale (1:250,000) for published topographic maps covering Australia.
• Contains multiple feature types including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring extraction for geospatial analysis.
• Map sheets may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise area-based queries.
• Includes about 50 special maps covering non-standard areas, which may not align with standard sheet lines.
