Ural SF51-12 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Canning Stock Route history, remote desert junctions, and an ancient meteorite crater—mapped with authority across the Great Sandy Desert

Covering Ural and the surrounding Great Sandy Desert country of central Western Australia, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet provides a clear, authoritative regional overview of one of Australia’s most demanding inland environments. It brings together long dune corridors, broad sandplains, rocky rises, native wells, remote tracks, and isolated water features across country where accurate regional context is essential.

The sheet includes an important section of the Canning Stock Route around Well 32 and Kunawarritji, together with Gary Junction, sections of the Gary Highway and Gary Junction Road, and the remarkable Veevers meteorite crater. Ural Well, Wandurba Rockhole, Kidson Bluff, Mount Shoesmith, and numerous native wells add further detail for expedition planning, historical research, land management, and remote-area coordination.

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 outback navigation.
