Warrina Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale for Australia

Australia's AUSTopo series provides continent-wide topographic coverage at a 1:250,000 scale across 516 standard maps. Each standard map sheet covers approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude, depicting features like road infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and 50-meter contours. The series is produced by Geoscience Australia and includes about 50 special maps for non-standard areas.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for national transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter contour intervals for regional water flow and elevation modeling.
• Identify vegetation and administrative boundary data for land use and conservation planning.
• Combine map sheets with neighboring data to create seamless coverage for large-area geospatial projects.

Strengths

• Covers the entire continent of Australia with 516 standard topographic maps.
• Provides the largest scale (1:250,000) published topographic coverage for Australia.
• Contains multiple datums (GDA94, GDA2020) and uses Universal Transverse Mercator projection.

Limitations

• Data is delivered as PDF files, requiring extraction or conversion for direct geospatial analysis.
• Map sheets may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially complicating precise boundary-based queries.
• Sample data and specific feature attribute tables are unavailable for review.
