Pender SE51-02 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Pender Bay, Cape Leveque, and the Dampier Peninsula’s remote tropical coast—mapped between the Indian Ocean and King Sound

Covering Pender Bay and much of the Dampier Peninsula north of Broome, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet presents an authoritative regional view of one of Western Australia’s most distinctive coastal landscapes. From the red cliffs, beaches, bays, and tidal inlets of the Indian Ocean coast to the sheltered waters and tidal country bordering King Sound, it captures a remarkable meeting of land and sea.

The sheet provides broad-area context for Cape Leveque, Beagle Bay, Lombadina, Djarindjin, remote communities, access roads, coastal tracks, and the peninsula’s sparsely settled interior. It also encompasses culturally and ecologically important country associated with Bardi Jawi and Nyul Nyul people, including coastal vine thickets, marine environments, and places requiring permission or local guidance to visit.

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 remote-area navigation.
