1:50,000 scale Topographic Maps are available with partial coverage, predominantly in northern Australia, along major transport routes, and in other selected areas.

Topographic maps show contours, spot elevations, streams, roads, buildings, place names, vegetation and administrative boundaries. They are used by emergency services, environmental resource managers, engineers and others for planning, development and recreational activities.

If you would like to use this map in the field, we can supply it on waterproof/tearproof DuPont™ Tyvek®. Tyvek® is made of pure polyethylene fibres (plastic) but has the properties of paper, which means it is foldable.

We can also laminate this map, allowing you to draw on it in whiteboard marker or apply our map dots to locations of interest without permanently marking the map. The lamination also makes the map durable and protects against tears and stains.
