Windorah Topographic Map at 1:250,000 Scale

516 maps cover the entire continent of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000, the largest scale for full coverage. Each standard map represents an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude. The series is produced by Geoscience Australia and includes data from surrounding sheets to maximize space utilization.

Use Cases

• Analyze road and rail infrastructure networks across a 150 km by 110 km map area.
• Study hydrography and vegetation patterns for regional environmental assessments.
• Use 50-meter interval contours for terrain analysis and elevation modeling.
• Identify localities and administrative boundaries for spatial planning applications.

Strengths

• 516 maps provide complete coverage of the Australian continent.
• Standard map sheets cover an area of approximately 150 km east-west and 110 km north-south.
• Includes about 50 special maps for non-standard areas, such as combined ocean-land sheets.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, limiting direct geospatial analysis.
• The map may contain information from surrounding sheets, which could complicate precise boundary analysis.
• Specific row counts, column structures, and sample data are unavailable.
