Wet Tropics Mountain Locations: 344 Points from 1:100,000 Scale Maps

344 point features depict mountains, peaks, ranges, and hills within the Wet Tropics Bioregion. Data originated from 1:250,000 scale topographic sources and was corrected for accuracy against 1:100,000 scale maps, with 90% of points within +/- 50 metres of true position. The dataset is provided by the Wet Tropics Management Authority via the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Mapping mountain and hill locations based on named point features.
• Analyzing topographic feature density and distribution within the Wet Tropics Bioregion.
• Validating or supplementing other geographic datasets with corrected mountain location data.
• Creating base maps for ecological or conservation studies in the region.

Strengths

• Contains 344 distinct geographic features.
• 90% of point locations are within +/- 50 metres of true position.
• Data was corrected from 1:250,000 to a more accurate 1:100,000 scale.

Limitations

• Some smaller features shown on the 1:100,000 scale maps were not included in the source data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The metadata is noted as non-authoritative; the data provider should be contacted for an authoritative record.
