The cartographic collection of the Doc Fisher Geoscience Library consists of the maps and air photos created or acquired by agency staff since the formation of BMR in 1946. This includes maps produced by agencies which have merged with these over the years, such as AUSLIG. Maps held include: Australian geological map series (1:250,000, 1:100,000 and the 1 mile series); topographic maps produced by NATMAP and its predecessors (1:250,000, 1:100,000 and 1:50,000) - latest editions only; various Australian geochemical, geophysical and other thematic maps; geoscience map series from other countries acquired on an exchange basis, including some with accompanying explanatory notes; Non-series maps acquired by donation or exchange; atlases. The Air photos are predominantly those used for mapping Australia and, to a lesser extent, Papua New Guinea and Antarctica, by BMR/AGSO from the 1940s to the 1980s. Geographical coverage of the sets is not complete, but many individual photos are unique in that they have pin points, overlays or other markings made by teams in the field. The Papua New Guinea photographs in the collection may, in many cases, be the only existing copies. Flight diagrams are also held for many (but not all) sets of air photos. Some other related materials, such as montages of aerial photographs (orthophotos), are also represented in the collection.

This report documents the findings of the Ord Valley Airborne Electromagnetics (AEM) Interpretation Project. The project was co-funded by the Australian and Western Australian Governments to provide information in relation to salinity and groundwater management in the Ord Valley, Western Australia. The project involved the acquisition of airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and Light Ranging and Detection (LiDAR) surveys, and complementary drilling, borehole geophysics, laboratory analysis and interpretation services. The project was undertaken under the auspices of the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality, and managed by Ord Irrigation Cooperative (OIC) for the WA Rangelands NRM Group.

A solid geology interpretation of the Paterson area has been carried out to understand the distribution of Proterozoic units beneath Phanerozoic cover. The results of this interpretation have implications for the prospectivity of areas beneath shallow cover within the area. Numerous granitoid intrusions have been identified to the north of Telfer, which intrude a pre-deformed Neoproterozoic sequence, suggesting that this shallowly covered area is prospective for Au-Cu mineralisation. Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks in the south of the region previously interpreted to be part of the Tarcunyah Group might instead be part of the Yeneena Supergroup. This would significantly enhance this prospectivity of this area, in particular for base metals and uranium mineralisation, given that no Neoproterozoic granites have been identified in this part of the province. The solid geology interpretation has been produced as in both hard copy and GIS formats. Depth to Proterozoic basement modelling has also been carried out for the area, effectively mapping the depth of the surface represented by the solid geology interpretation. This has shown that much of the area has only a relatively thin cover (typically less than 300 m), making it accessible for exploration. In contrast, the Waukarlycarly Embayment in the northwest of the province contains a relatively thick Phanerozoic succession (with maximum depths exceeding 3000 m) within a NNW-trending, steep-sided graben 30-40 km wide.

This map is part of the AUSTopo - Australian Digital Topographic Map Series. It 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 516 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and at least 110 kilometres from north to south. The topographic map shows approximate coverage of the sheets. The map may contain information from surrounding map sheets to maximise utilisation of available space on the map sheet. 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.
