Westwood SG51-16 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Great Victoria Desert dunes, saline lake country, and the remote Connie Sue corridor—mapped with authority across Western Australia’s interior

Covering Westwood and the surrounding Great Victoria Desert country east of Yeo Lake, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet provides a clear, authoritative overview of one of Western Australia’s most isolated landscapes. From broad sand-ridge country and saline drainage systems to scattered breakaways, low hills, and remote desert tracks, it gives professionals and experienced travellers the big-picture context needed in country where distances are vast and access is limited.

The sheet is especially valuable for understanding the wider relationship between the Connie Sue Highway corridor, adjoining access tracks, dune fields, and the eastern reaches of the Yeo Lake landscape. It is a practical regional reference for expedition preparation, conservation work, land management, emergency coordination, and remote-area operations.

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.
