Geraldton Special SH50-01 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

The Houtman Abrolhos, Geraldton’s regional hub, and the productive coast and hinterland of the Mid West—mapped together in one authoritative special sheet

Covering Geraldton, the Houtman Abrolhos, Greenough, Northampton, Port Gregory, Chapman Valley, and the adjoining Mid West coast and inland districts, this special-format AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet provides a clear, authoritative overview of a region where offshore islands, port infrastructure, coastal communities, broad agricultural areas, and major transport routes converge. From the Abrolhos island groups and Hutt Lagoon to Geraldton’s urban and industrial footprint, historic rural settlements, river valleys, and grain-growing country, it is designed for professionals, land managers, residents, and travellers who need dependable big-area context.

Extending west beyond the standard sheet boundary, the map brings the offshore archipelago and mainland region into one coherent view. Islands, coastlines, towns, highways, railways, port and utility infrastructure, waterways, farms, conservation areas, contours, vegetation patterns, and administrative boundaries are shown together—valuable for emergency coordination, environmental and heritage management, agricultural operations, infrastructure planning, logistics, tourism, field research, and regional orientation.

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 understanding how Geraldton, the Abrolhos, the coastal settlements, and the Mid West hinterland relate to one another.
