Historic goldfields, copper country, and the Great Northern Highway corridor—mapped with authority across Western Australia’s remote northern Murchison

Covering Peak Hill, Horseshoe Range, Doolgunna, Thaduna, Marymia, Kumarina, and the surrounding mineral districts, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet provides a clear, authoritative regional overview of country shaped by historic gold and manganese mining, modern copper-gold exploration, pastoral enterprise, and long-distance inland travel.

The sheet brings together the Great Northern Highway, pastoral leases, remote homesteads, historic mine sites, modern exploration areas, regional roads, mine access routes, station tracks, drainage systems, terrain, vegetation patterns, and named localities in one coherent view—valuable for geological fieldwork, mining operations, pastoral management, emergency coordination, infrastructure planning, and remote-area navigation.
