Resource Abstract:
This series covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250,000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and 110 kilometres from north to south. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. Some maps are supplemented by relief shading. The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets. Product Specifications Coverage: The series covers the whole of Australia with 513 maps Currency: Ranges from 1995 to 2009. 95% of maps have a reliability date of 1994 or later Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) Datum: AGD66, GDA94, AHD Projection: Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) Medium: Web and DVD Forward Program: Selected maps under revision Topographic geoMAP 250K maps are available free online via Geoscience Australia Interactive Maps service.
