Example of how the data can look in a GIS

Topographic map indexes are available as either digital data or printed maps.

Digital Map and Data Indexes

Designed for use in a GIS, there are indexes of the following:
  • Printed 1:100 000 scale topographic maps (NATMAP);
  • Printed 1:250 000 scale topographic maps (NATMAP); and
  • Digital 1:250 000 scale topographic data tiles (GEODATA).

This data is available for free online download. Further information about these datasets can be found in the Technical Details [PDF 117 Kb] documentation.

Maps are listed by name on the back of the index. The 1:50 000 Index also lists availability of Orthophoto Map (OPM) and Topographic Line Map (TLM) for available 1:50 000 maps.

Both indexes are available in printed form from your nearest NATMAP retailer or from the Geoscience Australia Sales Centre. You can also download PDFs of each index.

Note: To print these PDFs at 100% requires an A0 printer. They are best for viewing on-screen.
