Tanami East E5216 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Goldfields, desert plains, and one of Australia’s great outback corridors—mapped with authority and continental scale

Covering the eastern Tanami Desert of the Northern Territory, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet delivers a clear, authoritative regional overview of a landscape defined by red sandplains, mineral fields, and remote transport routes.

At 1:250,000 scale (1 cm = 2.5 km), this is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire Australian continent—ideal for regional planning, mining and land management, emergency coordination, and serious outback navigation.
