Norseman SI51-02 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Goldfields history, immense salt lakes, and the great inland junction toward Esperance and the Nullarbor—mapped across the Norseman region

Covering Norseman and the surrounding southern Goldfields of Western Australia, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet delivers an authoritative regional view of country shaped by mining, transport, woodland, and waterless distance. The historic town of Norseman sits among broad salt-lake systems, mineral fields, low rocky rises, extensive woodland, and the major road and rail corridors connecting Kalgoorlie, Esperance, and the Nullarbor.

From Lake Cowan and Lake Dundas to mining areas, pastoral tracks, and the vast Great Western Woodlands, the map provides valuable context across Ngadju Country. It is designed for mineral exploration, infrastructure and land management, emergency coordination, historical research, and experienced travellers preparing for remote journeys through south-eastern Western Australia.

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, operational briefings, and serious outback navigation.
