1:100 000 Scale NATMAP ACT Region MapThe ACT region map features bushland, vegetation, trails, waterways, urban and recreational areas. A bonus satellite image of the region is also included on the reverse side. It is popular with both ACT residents and visitors and covers the whole of the Territory and surrounding areas of New South Wales from Lake George in the north-east corner to Bredbo in the south, and as far east as Bungendore and Captains Flat. The major road pattern in Canberra and Queanbeyan is depicted as well as road surface conditions in rural areas. The pine plantations found extensively to the east and west of Canberra contrast strongly with the native vegetation of Namadgi National Park, which covers much of the Territory to the west and south of Canberra. The map provides emergency service workers with critical information such as the location of fire trails, bridges and dams. It also provides other users with a good overview of the ACT and surrounding region. The ACT region map is available from the Geoscience Australia Sales Centre. Digital vector data that is representative of the ACT region map is also available as a digital product, GEODATA TOPO 100K ACT Region. |
