Sir Samuel SG51-13 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)
Leinster, Lake Miranda, and the mineral-rich northern Goldfields—mapped across active nickel, gold, and lithium country
Covering Leinster, Mount Sir Samuel, Lake Miranda, Kathleen Valley, and surrounding northern Goldfields country, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet provides a clear, authoritative regional overview of one of Western Australia’s most important remote mining districts. It brings together major mineral corridors, mine infrastructure, pastoral leases, salt-lake catchments, low ranges, highways, and an extensive network of exploration and access tracks.
From the mining centre of Leinster and the historic Agnew–Lawlers district to Lake Miranda and the rapidly developing Kathleen Valley corridor, the map delivers essential broad-area context across a landscape shaped by nickel, gold, lithium, pastoralism, and immense travelling distances. It is designed for exploration teams, engineers, emergency coordinators, environmental professionals, land managers, and experienced remote-area travellers.
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.
