Abstract
This series of maps covers the whole of Papua New Guinea at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150km from east to west and 110km from north to south. There are more than 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area some also include imagery and additional narrative information. 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. Some maps are supplemented by relief shading. Coverage: Upon completion of revision the series will cover the whole of Australia with 513 maps. Currency: From 1995 to 2007. Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) Datum: AGD66, (GDA94 compliant at this stage). Projection: Lambert Conformal Conic. Medium: Paper, flat and folded copies.
