Widgiemooltha SH51-14 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

World-class gold and nickel country, immense salt lakes, and the strategic corridor between Kalgoorlie and Norseman—mapped in authoritative regional detail

Covering Widgiemooltha, Kambalda, Lake Lefroy, and the surrounding Eastern Goldfields, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet delivers a powerful regional view of one of Western Australia’s most significant mining landscapes. Extensive salt-lake systems, mineral fields, woodland, low rocky rises, historic settlements, and operational infrastructure are linked by the highway and rail corridors running south from the Kalgoorlie region.

From the mines and access routes surrounding Lake Lefroy to the historic Widgiemooltha district and the broader Great Western Woodlands, the map provides dependable context for mineral exploration, engineering, environmental management, emergency coordination, heritage work, and experienced remote-area travel. The region also holds continuing cultural significance for Ngadju and other Goldfields Traditional Owners.

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, operational briefings, and serious outback navigation.
