Major goldfields, sprawling salt lakes, and the western gateway to the Outback Way—mapped across the Laverton region

Covering Laverton and the surrounding northern Goldfields of Western Australia, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet delivers an authoritative regional view of country shaped by mining, desert travel, pastoral history, and immense inland distances. The town of Laverton forms a critical service and logistics centre among mineral fields, salt-lake systems, rocky ranges, spinifex plains, historic settlements, and remote transport corridors.

From Lake Carey and the mining districts surrounding Laverton to the Goldfields Highway and the western approaches to the Great Central Road and Outback Way, the map provides dependable context for exploration, engineering, emergency coordination, land management, heritage work, and serious remote-area travel. The region also holds continuing cultural significance for Wongatha and other northern Goldfields Traditional Owners.
