This service has been created specifically for display in the National Map and the chosen symbology may not suit other mapping applications. The Australian Topographic web map service is seamless national dataset coverage for the whole of Australia. These data are best suited to graphical applications. These data may vary greatly in quality depending on the method of capture and digitising specifications in place at the time of capture. The web map service portrays detailed graphic representation of features that appear on the Earth's surface. These features include culture, habitation, industry and utility themes from the Geoscience Australia 250K Topographic Data.

Road network extracted from Digital Chart of the World (DCW) Transport dataset (dataset derived from the Digital Chart of the World). Generic information on DCW data sets The primary source for DCW is the US Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series produced by the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The ONCs have a scale of 1:1,000,000, where 1 inch equals approximately 16 miles.The charts were designed to meet the needs of pilots and air crews in medium and low altitude en route navigation and to support military operational planning, intelligence briefings, and other needs. Therefore, the selection of ground features is based on the requirement for rapid visual recognition of significant details seen from a low perspective angle. The DCW database was originally published in 1992. Data currency varies from place to place depending on the currency of the ONC charts. Chart currency ranges from the mid 1960s to the early 1990s. Compilation dates for every ONC chart are included in the database. For more information on the Digital Chart of the world please browse the DCW website where you can download these data in VPF format. GA has converted these VPF format files to common GIS formats Arcview and Mapinfo. Available datasets include drainage, roads and railway networks, political areas and boundaries and population centres. Available for free download.

This product brings together a selection of AGSO's continental-scale digital datasets in one digital data package (on two CD's). Datasets have been compiled using a standardised coastline, projection and central meridian enabling easy integration of any of the individual datasets. Some datasets are primary (geology, metamorphism, regions), whilst others are subsets of AGSO's major databases and datasets (magnetics, whole-rock geochemistry, mineral deposits etc). Several datasets (e.g., geology, regolith, regions and ROCKCHEM) have more than one attribute and hence from the one dataset, several different themes can be derived and displayed or plotted. Datasets have been formatted for use with Arcinfo/Arcview and Mapinfo software. This two CD package contains the digital data (Disc 1) and A3 postscript files of the more popular base maps and integrations so that you can print out your own maps (Disc 2).

These pages comprise the National Geoscience Datasets Internet Facility which delivers AGSO clients online access to AGSO's National scale spatial geoscience information. AGSO has responsibility for the production and online access to primary geoscience information of relevance to resource issues for industry, government and the general public, provided in the form of digital datasets that cover the Australian continent and/or Australian marine jurisdictional areas. This facility will provide efficient, modern digital-era access to all the geoscience information available in current maps and associated digital databases at the best possible resolution. To add to this as new geoscience datasets are released they will become available on the National Geoscience Datasets download page and be viewable within the National datasets online GIS web mapping tool.
