Rudall SF51-10 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Karlamilyi wilderness, permanent desert pools, and rugged Martu Country—mapped across Western Australia’s remote interior

Covering Rudall and the heart of Karlamilyi National Park, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet provides an authoritative regional overview of Western Australia’s largest and most remote national park. Extending across country between the Great Sandy and Little Sandy Deserts, it brings together desert ranges, spinifex plains, sand dunes, salt lakes, river corridors and an extremely limited network of rough four-wheel-drive tracks.

The sheet captures the Karlamilyi River, also known as the Rudall River, as it crosses this immense wilderness, together with permanent and semi-permanent pools that provide vital refuges in the arid landscape. Features such as Desert Queen Baths, rugged sandstone and quartz outcrops, and the country surrounding Parnngurr make this an essential reference for park management, cultural and environmental work, geological exploration and properly prepared remote-area expeditions. Karlamilyi is culturally significant Country with which Martu Traditional Owners maintain a deep and continuing connection.

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, expedition preparation, and serious desert navigation.
