Yampi SE51-03 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Rugged Kimberley ranges, iron-rich islands, and the immense tides of Yampi Sound—mapped across one of Australia’s most dramatic coastal landscapes

Covering Yampi Sound, the Yampi Peninsula, and adjoining island country of the Buccaneer Archipelago, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet delivers a commanding regional view of Western Australia’s remote north-west coast. Steep sandstone ranges, deeply indented bays, mangrove-fringed inlets, tidal channels, offshore islands, and isolated infrastructure combine to create a landscape where dependable large-area context matters.

The sheet includes the strategically and economically significant waters and islands around Koolan and Cockatoo islands, together with the rugged mainland terrain of the Yampi region on Dambeemangaddee Country. It is an essential reference for coastal planning, conservation, mining and logistics, emergency coordination, education, and experienced travellers assessing this exceptionally remote part of the Kimberley.

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 remote-area navigation.
