The R502 series of maps has been replaced by the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS). The R502 series consists of 542 map
sheets and covers Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. It was compiled from aerial photography, but only about one quarter of
the series was contoured. The standard sheet size is 1 degree of latitude by 1.5 degrees of longitude. Transverse Mercator
map projection and Clark 1858 datum were used. Coverage of the country was completed in 1968.
