Barlee SH50-08 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

A vast inland salt lake, isolated ranges, and seldom-travelled Goldfields tracks—mapped with authority across remote Western Australia

Covering Lake Barlee, Mount Elvire, Diemals, Lake Giles, and the surrounding northern Goldfields interior, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet provides a clear, authoritative regional overview of exceptionally remote country shaped by immense salt-lake systems, pastoral history, mineral exploration, and sparse overland access. From the broad arms and islands of Lake Barlee to the Die Hardy Range, Mount Manning Range, granite exposures, sandplains, and woodland–mulga transition, it is designed for professionals and experienced travellers who need dependable big-area context.

The sheet brings together pastoral leases, remote homesteads, exploration areas, unsealed roads, station tracks, drainage systems, ranges, reserves, vegetation patterns, and named natural features in one coherent view—valuable for conservation programs, pastoral operations, geological fieldwork, emergency coordination, expedition planning, and remote-area navigation.

At 1:250,000 scale (1 cm = 2.5 km), this is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire Australian continent—ideal for regional planning, land management, emergency coordination, and serious navigation.
