Wiluna SG51-09 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Gateway to the Canning Stock Route and Gunbarrel Highway—mapped across Wiluna, Lake Way, and the remote northern Goldfields

Covering Wiluna, Lake Way, and surrounding northern Goldfields and desert-margin country, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet provides a clear, authoritative regional overview of one of Western Australia’s most important remote travel and operations hubs. It brings together the Wiluna townsite, goldfields, salt lakes, pastoral leases, mine infrastructure, drainage systems, and an extensive network of station and exploration tracks.

Wiluna is renowned as the western gateway to both the Canning Stock Route and Gunbarrel Highway, two of Australia’s great remote-area journeys. The sheet also places Lake Way, regional access roads, airfields, former mining localities, and culturally significant Martu Country within one coherent view—making it essential for expedition planning, mining and environmental work, emergency coordination, and land management.

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.
