Stanley SG51-06 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Western Australia’s geographical heart, Martu Country, and immense desert horizons—mapped across the remote interior

Covering Stanley and the surrounding country north-east of Wiluna, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet provides an authoritative regional overview of one of Western Australia’s most remote inland landscapes. The sheet extends across Glenayle and Carnegie country, bringing together low ranges, stony uplands, sandplain, salt-lake drainage and a sparse network of station roads and desert tracks.

A distinctive feature of this sheet is the location identified by Geoscience Australia—using one recognised centroid method—as the geographical centre of Western Australia, north-east of Glenayle Homestead. From the Lee Steere Range and Weld Spring to the broad drainage country associated with Lake Carnegie, the map supplies valuable context for land management, cultural and environmental work, geological exploration, emergency planning and experienced remote-area travel.

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, exploration support, and serious outback navigation.
