This map is part of a series which comprises 50 maps which covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:1 000 000 (1cm on a map represents 10km on the ground). Each standard map covers an area of 6 degrees longitude by 4 degrees latitude or about 590 kilometres east to west and about 440 kilometres from north to south. These maps depict natural and constructed features including transport infrastructure (roads, railway airports), hydrography, contours, hypsometric and bathymetric layers, localities and some administrative boundaries, making this a useful general reference map.

All 1:250,000 scale NATMAP topographic maps available on CD in ECW format as a seamless map image. Map projection is Equirectangular/Geographic/Geodetic/Plate Caree - best suited for measuring position and for use in conjunction with GPS. Together with individual map images with full marginalia. Map projection is Map Grid of Australia - best suited for measuring distances and areas. 1:1,000,000 scale maps and 50m Landsat satellite image are also included.

The University of Geosciences in Wuhan is developing the computer systems to help the provincial surveys re-map the geology of China at 1:250 000 and 50 000 scales in just 12 years. With a land area 25% larger than Australia's, China has about 15 000 1:50 000 map sheets! The maps are really just by-products, though, as the ultimate goal is to build a computer database of the geology and mineral resources of the whole of China. LIU Songfa and I went to Wuhan in late 1999 to talk to Professor WU and his colleagues about techniques of field-data acquisition and geoscience database design.

The map covers an area of 0.850 degrees longitude by 0.883 degrees latitude or about 76 kilometres from east to west and about 96 kilometres from north to south. At this scale 1cm on the map represents 1km on the ground. This map contains natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 20m), localities and administrative boundaries, such as national parks, and nature reserves. The reverse side of the map depicts the same area using an orthophoto mosaic.

<p>At this scale 1cm on the map represents 1km on the ground. This map covers a minimum area of 1 degrees longitude by 0..57 degrees latitude or about 96km by 63km (eastern section of the area). The contour interval is 20m. <p>This map contains natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours, localities and some administrative boundaries. <p>A satellite image with insets for popular destinations is on the reverse. <p>Product Specifications: <p>Coverage: Australia is covered by more than 3000 x 1:100,000 scale maps, of which 1600 have been published as printed maps.
