Yorke Peninsula 1:250,000 Topographic Map

2026-03-26 updated digital topographic map of the Yorke Peninsula region in Australia. It is part of a 516-map series covering the entire continent at a scale of 1:250,000, containing natural and constructed features. The map is a special sheet covering a non-standard area, with coordinates in GDA94/GDA2020 datum and UTM projection.

Use Cases

• Extract road and rail infrastructure features for regional transportation network analysis.
• Analyze hydrography and 50-meter interval contours for terrain and watershed modeling.
• Identify vegetation coverage and administrative boundaries for land-use planning.
• Georeference map features using provided GDA94/GDA2020 coordinates and UTM projection for GIS integration.

Strengths

• Part of a continent-wide series of 516 standardized topographic maps.
• Provides data at a detailed 1:250,000 scale, the largest covering all of Australia.
• Contains multiple feature types including infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, and contours.

Limitations

• Data is provided only in PDF format, requiring extraction for structured geospatial analysis.
• As a special map, its spatial coverage is non-standard, which may complicate tiling with adjacent sheets.
• The map may contain information from surrounding sheets, potentially introducing edge artifacts.
